Danny Winn

Danny Winn has shown himself to be quite the versatile and instinctual actor with many faces. Not only in Hollywood but nationally and soon internationally. He brings his theatrical prowess to the big screen in two breakout movies this spring. Danny will first be seen this March in his Lead role of the hard to figure Paul, a Priest who struggles with his own inner Demon’s in the suspense thriller “The Crossbreed”. A film Directed by the well known Turkish director Biray Dalkiran. This is Dalkiran’s ninth feature film, and is his first debut movie to Hollywood and the US. The Crossbreed received several awards at the many LA film festivals and is released internationally. Danny Winn’s second movie release this spring will be in the period western “Hyde Park” under the direction of Nicholas Barton. Barton is known for his love of true western stories of the untold, and his meticulous nature to authenticity of the story. Danny will open the movie and appear in his strong supporting role as Happy Jim. A Faro dealer who is truly caught in the crossfire of love, jealousy, arrogance, and the old west struggle of survival and control. Danny’s role as Happy Jim takes his method to new heights as he plays basically two characters in one.

Winn states that his believability, and instinctual method are drawn from his many true life experiences. He taps into a wide range of learned emotion form many memories out of his inner self and combines them with how he feels the character to be on the outside. Danny’s belief is that the true magic happens at the action of the scene when filming “The character will truly shine instinctually in the moment without over processing.” His adaptability as well as accessibility to emotions derives from the many people, characters and experiences he discovered while moving about the many stations of his fathers military duty spanning 21 years.

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.
