The history of stunt work and acting almost go hand-in-hand. Over the years Hollywood's need for individuals capable in either field has steadily increased. Mark Ginther has been in the business of both acting and stunt performing since the 1980s. Notably, Mark appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles II: Secret of the Ooze (1991) as the mutant wolf Rahzar. He also appeared in the body suit role of Lord Zedd in the 90s outing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995). Mark stunt doubled for actor Abram Benrubi in George of the Jungle (1997) and performed further stunts in the Will Smith, Kevin Kline action comedy Wild Wild West (1999). Going into the new millennium, Mark's resume in stunt work continued to flourish with credits in Jurassic Park III (2001), Spider-Man (2002), Daredevil and even the fourth Bruce Willis installment in the Die Hard series, Live Free or Die Hard (2007). With his vast knowledge of stunt work, Mark has undoubtedly secured a steady line of job assignments within Hollywood, whether he is acting, executing a stunt or helping rig a stunt instead. - IMDb Mini Biography

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.
