Edwin Goh was discovered by a local producer and played the role of a thrill-seeking teen in Channel 5’s local drama “Fighting Spiders” in 2009. The success of the series and the fact that he is effectively bilingual scored him his first silver screen role in a local Chinese movie “Love Cuts” in 2010, playing a quiet and withdrawn youth. With boyish good looks and superb acting skills, Edwin was further cast as one of the main leads in Channel 8’s 2011 blockbuster drama “On the Fringe” playing an estranged rebellious teenage and became an overnight stardom. Edwin headlined the movie “Imperfect” where he did a stellar job of portraying a troubled teenager embroiled in a gang feud in 2012. He was also awarded with the Breakout Star of the Year title at the Elle Awards 2012. In 2013, Edwin was nominated in the Best Newcomer category at the Star Awards and in 2014 he made it to the Top 20 Most Popular Male Artistes list. Edwin also hosted a children programme “We Are Awesome’, which was nominated for Best Children’s programme for Asia TV Awards 2015. In 2015, Edwin graduated from a 3-year course with LaSalle College of the Arts. A year later, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Star Awards 2016 for his outstanding performance in the “Dream Makers 2”. After completing 2 years of national service, Edwin is now back to acting. His recent dramas include “A Million Dollar Dream”, “Old Is Gold” and “My Guardian Angels”.
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.
