Alias:
Darren Choo
Даррен Э. Скотт
Birthplace:
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Born:
May 30, 1972
Darren was born in Vancouver BC and grew up in Richmond, BC Canada. At the age of eight he took up Karate and received his black belt at the age of 11. He competed through out his high school and college/post college years becoming a Canadian National Champion in both forms and point sparring. The 1995 feature film "The Hunted" was his first on set experience where he played a ninja along side the stuntmen. After one year of training in Japan with his masters and the Tenri University Karate Team, where he learned a fair bit of Japanese, his pursuits continued. His Eurasian good looks have often had him compared to other Eurasian talents all over the world but in recent years he has found his own individuality, versatility and acting style that has gained him some recognition and praise. HIs latest feature film Cartels exhibits his talents as a leading man.

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.
