Biography from TheMovieDB

Billy Barratt is an English actor and musician who has been performing professionally since the age of six. He has appeared in numerous film, TV, and West End theatre productions. He trained at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School and ELAM Arts School. In 2020, at just 13 years old, Billy made history as the youngest recipient of the International Emmy Award for Best Performance by an Actor, for his lead role in the psychological drama Responsible Child (BBC/Kudos). In the critically acclaimed drama, Billy portrayed Ray, a 12-year-old child on trial for the brutal murder of his stepfather. The production won the International Emmy Award for Best TV Movie and earned two BAFTA nominations. Billy's powerful performance as Ray also secured him a nomination for Best Newcomer at the 2020 National Film Awards. In 2021, Billy captured audiences as the troubled outcast Caspar Morrow in Apple TV's high-budget sci-fi series Invasion. The series, created and executive produced by Academy Award and Emmy-nominated Simon Kinberg (The Martian) and David Weil (Hunters), featured Billy as the emotional heart of its UK storyline. The show was renewed for a second and third season, with Billy's layered portrayal continuing to resonate with viewers. Billy also starred alongside Mckenna Grace, Kid Cudi, and Isaiah Russell-Bailey in Disney+'s coming-of-age space adventure Crater. In 2024, he is set to appear in the highly anticipated Sony/Marvel production Kraven the Hunter alongside Russell Crowe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Additionally, Billy joins an all-star cast, including Dave Bautista, Anna Faris, Chloe Coleman, and Ken Jeong, in Amazon's My Spy: The Eternal City. Billy's previous film credits include Blinded by the Light, Mary Poppins Returns, Sharknado 5, The Other Me, To Dream, and The Islander. On television, his credits include Invasion (Seasons 1 and 2, Apple TV), A Christmas Carol (Ridley Scott/Tom Hardy/BBC), Mr. Selfridge (ITV), The White Princess (Starz), and The Alienist (Netflix). When not on set, Billy is the frontman and guitarist for his band, The Hunger.  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.
