David Saucedo is an American actor who came to acting later in life. One of his early roles was with Mexican television royalty, Angelica Vale in the lead role of, "No Me Hallo." The show was originally intended as a web series but after its success online, Univision decided to also air the series on its network. David appeared in two episodes playing the role of Peppino. Later, after a long audition process he was cast in the role of Cesar Arista (in the Christopher Landon directed) Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. This was the second time he had worked with director, writer and producer Oren Peli. Previously, David shot the (as of yet unreleased) Oren Peli directed project "Area 51." Since then, he has played opposite Salma Hayek in How to Make Love to an Englishman and was the gritty drug enforcer, Rosco in 6 Ways to Sundown staring Bai Ling, Tom Sizemore and Dominique Swain. More recently, David spent a month in Seattle, WA, filming alongside Bill Oberst Jr. and Jason Vail in "Valley of the Sasquatch" as Sergio Guerrero. He also worked on Circle and Savageland. With over three million hits on YouTube, in the music video by The Cataracs, "All You," David plays a coyote that smuggles the band into Mexico. Also a music video, On Theory of a Deadman's "Hurricane" staring Andy Dick, he plays a police officer. The song has garnered over a million hits. He is a former funeral counselor and believes that those years spent in the funeral industry help him understand the characters he plays. He has owned a coffee house/art gallery, been a former owner of a small indie record label, was a punk rock musician, is a photographer and an ordained minister. As one of the many odd jobs he has held, he helped clear out the famous old Swabs Pharmacy in Hollywood.

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.
