A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Pretoria, South Africa
DeVille Vannik was born in South Africa and attended the Performing Arts Lifestyle Institute in his hometown of Pretoria. He started his career in front of the camera with an international commercial for Coca-Cola in 2009. The following year, he moved to the United States where he attended the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and focused on acting for film. After graduating from the conservatory, DeVille was offered a management contract and moved to LA to further pursue opportunities in film and television. DeVille has a background in parkour, martial arts and acrobatics. He enjoys doing his own stunts and has also worked extensively as a stunt performer and stunt double on numerous productions.

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.
