A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:

Born:
April 24, 1961
Alex Corrado was born in Jersey City to Joseph and Vittoria Corrado (Fortunato). Growing up in Hoboken his parents exposed him to the arts and culture that New York City had to offer. Movies, Museums, Theater, Opera, and World travel were the ingredients for a well balanced upbringing. He studied Medicine in Bologna,Italy and did clinical rotations in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He is fluent in Italian and Spanish. After working in the medical profession he pulled a complete 180 and decided to pursue his true passion, acting. Influences include Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, and Elvis Presley. Alex thanks his wife Lisa for keeping him sane in an insane world. Also for being his muse, source of motivation, support and unconditional love.

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.
