A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Enfield, London, England
Born:
April 7, 1978
Born in Enfield in 1978 Neil was raised in the neighbouring North London suburb of Barnet. Having spent several years working in retail management and looking for an outlet for his artistic nature, after some soul-searching and a strong desire for something different in life, Neil discovered acting towards the end of 2011, an avenue he didn't think was previously possible for himself. Due to his physique, 6'7"/201cm and 130kg , Neil was beginning to be offered the roles of henchmen, doorman, security guards and villains which has included a number of appearances in television and films that have included BBC's prime time Saturday show 'Atlantis' in 2013, Channel 4's cult comedy 'Cardinal Burns' in 2014 and a number of appearances in a variety of TV shows such as 'Stan Lee's Lucky Man', 'Chrisleys Knows Best' and 'Murder in Successville'. Although typecasted due to his size, Neil brings nothing but professionalism and positivity to the roles he is given in what is a tough and highly competitive industry.
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.
