Edward Akrout is a Franco-British artist and actor. Born in Paris, Akrout grew up between France and England. He studied philosophy at the Sorbonne before attending Le Cours Florent in Paris for theatre, followed by time at the National Institute in Bucharest. He lives between London, New York and Paris. Akrout moved to England where he studied acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). Since graduating in 2008, Akrout has been prominent on both the screen and the stage. He is the grandson of Air Commodore Anthony Norman Davis (14 August 1918 – 1988) a British Royal Air Force officer who served as a pilot during the Second World War. Akrout is best known for his role as The Dauphin in The Hollow Crown. Other notable roles include Yves D'Allegre in The Borgias, Laurent Debienne in Genius: Picasso, Diego in Killing Eve and Edward Steichen in Rodin directed by Jacques Doillon.
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.
