Byron Gibson is an English actor and stunt actor from Cambridge, England. He is a former construction worker, street market trader, Thai boxing coach, and professional fight promoter. He was the first person to promote and establish Muay Thai shows in Cambridge in 1990s, with former ITV Saturday Grandstand wrestling star Steve Logan. His Thai boxing school housed three Professional Muay Thai Champions. He first entered the movie business in 2008 when Jean-Claude Van Damme cast him as a gangster in The Eagle Path aka Full Love. Byron was cast as a stunt performer in The Hangover Part 2 in a bar fight in the flashback scenes with a young Bradley Cooper. Photos from the scene were used in the end credits photo Montague. He is known for the controversial torture scene in Only God Forgives directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. Nicolas liked his name 'Byron" so much he named the character in the film after him instead of 'Dimitri". Byron has worked under many award winning directors such as Jerome Salle and John Woo. Most recently he starred in "Brutal" "A Taste of Violence with Parkour legend "David Belle".

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.
