Fábio Jr., stage name of Fábio Corrêa Ayrosa Galvão (São Paulo, November 21, 1953), is a Brazilian singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and actor. Fábio Jr. began performing in São Paulo as a child on TV (Bandeirantes) and radio shows. In 1971, he adopted the stage name Uncle Jack and later Mark Davis, under which he recorded several singles sung in English, having success with "Don't Let Me Try" and "I Want to Be Free Again." In the late '70s, he adopted the stage name Fábio Jr. and became a popular leading man in soap operas, also adopting a mellifluous singing style and a repertory of romantic pop songs. His first LP, Fábio Júnior, came in 1976. He worked in the cinema (his most important assignment being Bye Bye Brasil, Cacá Diegues) and he also recorded in Spanish and hosted his own show at TV Record beginning in 1990. Among his many hits as an author/interpreter, "Vinte e Poucos Anos," "O Que é Que Há?" (with Sérgio Sá), and "Pai" are among the most successful. Since 1976, with a few exceptions, he has been recording an album per year.
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.
