Biography from TheMovieDB

Sal completed work on an Independent film tentatively titled "Building Girl" and another entitled "Immaculate Misconception" He recreated his role of Pirelli in the top notch production of Sweeney Todd at Seattle's 5TH Avenue Theatre. David Armstrong, the Artisitic Director, staged this critically lauded and audience pleasing gem. It was part of the Halloween season and as it had never been seen in Seattle the reaction was effusively enthusiastic. He played John Tedesco, the Law firm partner to John Rubinstein's George Simon, in Off-Broadway's Counsellor At Law by Elmer Rice at the St. Clement Theatre. This classic 1930's play received great audience and critical support along with two Lucille Lortel Awards. It garnered the Best Revival for the play and Best Actor award for John Rubinstein's insightful and moving portrayal. Dan Wackerman, the director, received the coveted Obie Award for his work. Sal shot a Law & Order episode entitled "Fluency" appearing with Dennis Farina and Jesse Martin and did a Third Watch episode "In The Family Way" as Lawyer Alexander Sapp. In the Law & Order, "Acts of Contrition" episode he was seen as yet another lawyer named Wright. He was Coordinating/Aritistic Director last season for the Sutton Place Synagogue's (the UN's Synagogue) first Spring Sing Cabaret/Concert: Sutton 'Ly Spring. Gathered for this event were Broadway veteran's Karen Mason (Mamma Mia/Sunset Blvd),Nat Chandler (Scarlet Pimpernel), Wayne Scherzer (Les Miserables), Patricia Parker (Doll's Life) and Beth Glover (Counsellor At Law) as well as the talented Cabaret singer Julie Reyburn.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
