Raymond Thiry is a Dutch actor. He started out in theatre in 1987 with his own theatre group Alex d'Electrique, a well know group and very successful at different festivals and in theatre all over the Netherlands and Germany. After being in several prime time TV series, he stars in 2006 in the art house film 'Langer Licht' by David Lammers and receives a prestigious Golden Calf Nomination at the Dutch Filmfestival. In 2009 he wins this same award for his brilliant work in 'Oorlogswinter' (Winter in Wartime) by director Martin Koolhoven, which was a huge box office success. After his award his agenda fills up fast with all sorts of characters in Feature Film as well as TV. He impressed in the Dutch Crime series Penoza and feature films Sonny Boy and Lotus (release autumn 2011). At the end of 2011 Raymond will hit the theaters again, together with star actress Sylvia Hoeks in the play Poskantoor, based on the book Post Office by Charles Bukowski. In 2012 Raymond plays the main character in the feature films 'Black Out' and 'Toegetakeld door de liefde'. - IMDb Mini Biography
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
