February 3, 1987
Raised in Arizona, Mark Grossman discovered an interest in acting at an early age performing in a school rendition of 'Beauty & the Beast'. Playing 'the Beast' was an exhilarating experience and introduced Mark to the creative arts. Soon after graduating high school he pursued a career as a professional actor. After booking a few local indies, Mark made the move to Los Angeles. He quickly secured representation, continued training and hit the audition circuit. In a short time, Mark has landed over a dozen lead and supporting roles in movies-for-television and independent features. Best known for dramatic roles, he recently showcased his comedic skills in the coming-of-age feature, 'Get Big'. Most recently Mark was seen in a recurring role on Freeform's 'Famous in Love' and now joins the cast of 'Young & the Restless' playing Adam Newman.
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.
