Hairy and handsome Ray Dragon is not just a porn star - he's also a photographer and fashion designer. He was born in 1962 in Michigan and studied at Michigan State University, earning computer engineering and performing arts degrees - which he followed up with appearances in stage shows throughout the US. As a fashion designer, he was famed for his sportswear but also designed costumes for the theater and ballet companies. Later, he closed the business and his New York shop. Dragon got his porn break with Colt Studios in the early 1990s but then took a long break before returning in the 2000s. He not only appears in movies - he's a talented director, editor and producer and has his own porn company. He's also a former gymnast.
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.
