A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Jon Baggio was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated from the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa in 1997 with a BA in Communications. After a disastrous six month review at his health care marketing job, he decided to move to LA and pursue his dream: a career in Screenwriting. Soon after moving to LA, a friend dragged him to an open casting call for "nerdy character types". Jon was cast in the film, thus creating what has since become an eclectic list of film and television credits, including, "Austin Powers: Goldmember"; "I Love You, Man", "Southland" and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". In addition, Jon has been part of unique and memorable commercials for companies such as Mike's Hard Ice Tea, Bridgestone Tires, Boston Pizza and GE. When Jon isn't acting, he continues to write scripts in various genres and strives to acquire that most elusive of accomplishments: the screenplay sale.
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.
