Dianne Doan is a Canadian actress of Vietnamese descent. She was born on September 8, 1990 in Abbotsford, British Columbia. She first developed an interest in acting in the 9th grade when she took drama classes as an elective. She started technical training in dance at the age of 10. Doan has a background in dance and has performed as a dancer at the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony and as a back-up dancer for Michael Bublé. She has also worked as a dancer in music videos for other recording artists like Big Time Rush and Marianas Trench. Doan's first major acting role was in the Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants as Lonnie, the daughter of Mulan and Li Shang. She reprised her role in the sequel Descendants 2. She has also had recurring roles on the television series Vikings and Guidance. In 2017, Doan joined the cast of the Cinemax series Warrior as Mai Ling. The series is produced by filmmaker Justin Lin and based on an original concept by the late Bruce Lee. Doan is currently filming the upcoming television series The Boys Presents: Varsity, a spin-off of the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys. She will play the role of Nyla, a powerful superhero.
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.
