Biography from TheMovieDB

Franklin DeWar (American Voice Actor) was born May 1, 1982 in Cincinnati Ohio. Lending his Rich Bass Voice to Regional and National Commercials via Radio, Television and Beyond he has given an Authoritative voice to Many National Companies, Small Businesses, and Independent Films. In 2014 Franklin Began Writing Directing and producing Regional and National Film.  How did it begin?  At the age of 9 Franklin DeWar's voice changed and so did his life. Back then that meant singing in the Bass section in church choir & dubbing a few training videos for a company he works at today. It also meant he could act like any ones dad keeping telemarketers at bay.  He continued using his voice for good in high school when he started singing with the May Festival Chorus and a group called SPEBSQSA, now known as the Barbershop Harmony society. He learned quickly that sound effects people. It changes there mood and in turn can change the course of their decisions. While pursuing a degree in Political Science at Morehead State University, Franklin immersed himself in the Music and Communications Departments. Classically trained at Morehead State University by Dr. Greg Detweiler, Dr. Ricky Little he developed is appreciation for classical vocal technique. During college, Franklin started a Barbershop quartet that performed throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The only paid professional college quartet in the area at that time: The Golden Nights went on to win the Collegiate District Finals and represent the tri-state internationally in 2004. Dropping a line here and there at WMSU public radio made Franklin start to think about what he wanted to do when he graduated. After graduating from college with a degree in Political Science and a lot of vocal training he did what any other person would do.  He started working for the Post office. Ok, there was a little more than that. He knew as soon as he graduated that he liked to do voiceover work. While at college he reached out to some of the top voiceover artists in LA. With there help Frank built a studio in his home in 2008. Frank's Voice can be heard at many live events around the tri-state area. He also offers Voice Over Coaching through Zappa Studios LLC.

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.

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.
