Biography from TheMovieDB

Maxwell Jenkins is an American actor renowned for his dynamic roles in both television and film. Known widely for portraying Will Robinson in the Netflix series Lost in Space (2018-2021) over its three seasons, Jenkins has also appeared as young Jack Reacher in the Amazon series Reacher (2022-) . His early career included roles in projects such as Sense8 (2015-2018) , created by the Wachowski siblings, Betrayal (2013-2014) , Chicago Fire (2012-) , Chicago Med (2015-) , and the comedy film Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) .  In 2020, he starred alongside Mark Wahlberg and Connie Britton in the film Good Joe Bell (2020) , directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. In 2023, Jenkins took on a leading role in the Apple TV+ series Dear Edward (2023-2023) , created by Jason Katims and Fisher Stevens, which was released in February of that year. He also completed filming Sand and Stones, a feature film where he stars opposite Nicolas Cage under the direction of Ben Brewer, with a planned release in late 2023.  Adding to his filmography, in 2024, Maxwell Jenkins appeared in the film Arcadian (2024) . This role continues to build on his growing reputation for taking on complex characters in both independent and major studio projects.  Jenkins was recognized by The Hollywood Reporter as one of the "30 top actors under 30" in 2019, highlighting his emerging talent in the industry. He has earned three Saturn Award nominations for his performance in each season of Lost in Space and has also been honored with the Community Leadership Award by the Young Artists Academy.  From a young age, Jenkins has been immersed in the performing arts, making his debut at three years old with his family's theatrical circus company, Midnight Circus. He continues to perform as an acrobat with the company each summer. Outside of his acting commitments, he is musically inclined, playing guitar and mandolin with various bands in Chicago. Despite his demanding schedule, Maxwell remains dedicated to his education as a Chicago Public School student and maintains his involvement with the ASPCA as a committed partner.  IMDb Mini Bio By: yusufpiskin

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.

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.
