April 1, 1976
Qusay’s father was the journalist A’meed Al Khouly. He graduated from the Higher Theater Institute in 1999. Prior to that Qusay had spent two years studying law. Natural talent drew Qusay to acting and despite his family’s strong objections Qusay insisted on enrolling at the Higher Theater Institute. The resultant dispute with his family led to his leaving his home for two months. Although Qusay is a gifted actor he is nonetheless modest. Among the theatrical performances he has participated in are “Kusoor”, “Madinat Al Kharab” (“The City of Ruins”), “Al Diblomassiyoun” (“The Diplomats”) and “Al Rahan Caligula”. He has also participated in the cinematic productions “Roaa Halimma” (“Dreamy Visions”) and “Al Ou’shaq” (“The Lovers”). Qusay graduated from the Higher Theater Institute in the company of distinguished actors such as Bassil Al Khayyat, Sulaffa Me’mar, Raghda Shu’ayrany. Whilst at the institute, Qusay studied under Ghassan. In 2006 Qusay won the award for Best Arab Actor for his role in “Ghuzzlan fee Ghabbat Al Ziaab” (“Deer in the Wolves’ Forest).
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.
