Brad Abrell is a Los Angeles based actor whose talents are incredibly diverse; he is an on-camera actor, voice-over actor, radio host and puppeteer. Brad grew up in Miami, FL where as a kid he used a tape recorder and Mad magazines as scripts to make his own radio shows. He graduated from the University of Florida and while in his home state, his radio resume' included mornings on 94.9 Zeta 4, WAOA 107.1 and WMMO 98.9. He moved to Los Angeles where the trail of his credits is as varied as his roles; from Mannix in all three Men in Black films, to his loveable shark character, Mr. Chomp, in Disney's Doc McStuffins, to Bubble Buddy in SpongeBob SquarePants, to his black-suited Agent Trigger on Gravity Falls. The list of his on camera commercials is equally as broad including Tide, FedEx, Lowe's, McDonald's, Voya, Kia and many more. Brad has performed as a puppeteer for the Muppets, Muppets Tonight, and Spider-Man 2 and even hosted a game show on Nickelodeon. In addition to his voice-over and on-camera career, Brad is currently co-hosting the nationally syndicated "Ashley & Brad" radio show. He is married to his wife of 19 years and has 2 sons.
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.
