From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Ryan Northcott (born April 9, 1980 in Calgary) is a Canadian actor, in the film Mystery, Alaska and several other TV movies. He played Carl Wilson in the 2000 miniseries The Beach Boys: An American Family. He is the founding member of FUDDYTV.com and the character now known on the Internet as Chuck Storm Action 5 News Reporter who hits pole. In May 2008 Ryan and FUDDY compatriots David Haysom and Erik Eldman traveled to Belgium on behalf of Toyota to film Car Dance Party Belgium which has become a cult favorite in Belgium. The ad features two of FUDDYTV.com's recurring characters, Boris and Juri, as they instruct us in the art of the car dance party. Their car dance party work has gone on to garner them a win in a SuperU.ca contest which includes a showing of Car Dance Party Moscow at Just For Laughs in Montreal and a MIXX award for their Car Dance Party Belgium Campaign in partnership with Happiness Brussels. In December 2008 Ryan and FUDDYTV worked hand in hand with TrueCredit's ad agency Cramer-Krasselt to create 10 commercials for web and TV, the most widespread of which is the Chuck Storm commercial.

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.
