Rodrigo Santacruz was born on September 18, 1979 in Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico. He is an actor, writer and voiceover artist, known for Fragmentos del destino (2007), Código postal (2006) and La madrastra (2005). Born in Mexico City and raised in Silicon Valley, Rodrigo began acting in Kindergarten when he played the Grinch in "The Grinch who Stole Christmas." Soon thereafter, his first professional credit was on "Plaza Sésamo", the Latin American version of "Sesame Street", which was seen throughout the Americas. After his family moved back to Mexico City in 1988, he studied at C.A.D.A.C. in Coyoacan, Mexico City and participated in numerous school plays as well as attending acting camp Stagedoor Manor in Loch Sheldrake, New York, during the 1995 and 1996 sessions. After high school, Rodrigo studied acting at Acting International in Paris, France before graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts - West in Hollywood, California in 2001. Shortly after, he attended the British Americana Drama Academy in Oxford, England, UK. After returning to Mexico City in 2003, he completed his formal training at CEA (Centro de Educación Artística) and quickly got to work. Rodrigo has worked in many different fields, including television, film, and theater since as well as being a successful voiceover artist since 2010. He is completely bilingual in English and Spanish, and speaks French and Italian as well. He is busy with work, single, and living in Mexico City.
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.
