Warwick Tennant Moss is an Australian actor, television personality and presenter and dramatist and playwright as well as New South Wales Premier's Literary Award winning writer for the stage. Moss was born in Sydney and attended Newington College (1958–65), commencing as a preparatory school student in Wyvern House. In 1984 Moss produced, directed and acted in his own play Down An Alley Filled With Cats. This mystery thriller won the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards for Theatre and had productions throughout Australia, as well as the on West End and in New York. It is published worldwide by Samuel French. In London he appeared in the Royal Command premiere of Stephen Sewell's play Dreams in an Empty City. Moss has appeared in Come In Spinner, Scales of Justice, Mother and Son, Police Rescue, G. P., The Flying Doctors, Punishment, Blue Murder, Evil Angels (A Cry in the Dark) and Danny Deckchair. In 1993 he hosted the national television show The Extraordinary, which ran for four years and was sold to over 70 countries. He later parodied this persona in a 2007 commercial for ANZ, in his trademark deep, mysterious voice, saying "How do I unlock equity from my home?". From 1998 to 2005 Moss directed, wrote and/or hosted the documentaries Pure Gold, Australia and The Olympic Games, Australia's Most Haunted Town, and The Reincarnation Experiments. He also produced and acted in the film version of his play Blood-Shot. In 2006 he produced, shot, wrote and hosted his own three-part documentary Inside The Outback. Warwick Moss also presented the Ten Network home improvement and renovations program Bright Ideas every Saturday between 12 noon and 2 p.m. for a number of years.
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.
