Biography from TheMovieDB

Lucas Velazquez Correa was born to Fabio Velazquez and Clara Correa Muñoz on April 22 1981 in Medellin, Colombia. Since an early age Lucas was interested in acting. He lived in Quebec, where he participated in the Polyvalent de Charlesbourg college theater group. Back in Colombia he met Malcom Aponte, who cast him in the series "Padres e Hijos" (Parents and Children), which marked his TV debut. Since then he has participated in telenovelas such as "Francisco el Matematico" (Francis the Mathematician), "La Viuda de la Mafia" (The Mob Widow), and "La Marca del Deseo" (The Markings of Desire), among others. In 2003 he received the TVNovelas Award as Best New Actor for his portrayal of Marcos Galindo in "Francisco el Matematico". That same year he starred in the musical "Bolero para Tres"(Bolero for Three), with Jose Luis Paniagua. In 2005 the "MISI" musical theater company cast him as "Kenickie" in "Grease". The following year he won second place in Colombia's RCN station's "Dancing for a Dream", which earned him an invitation to also participate in "Los Reyes de la Pista" (Kings of the Dance Floor), which he won. He moved to Mexico in 2009 to work for Televisa, the biggest Latin American network, acting as a series regular in shows such as Luis de Llano's "Atrevete a Soñar" (Dare to Dream), playing the role of Axel, and in Juan Osorio's "Una Familia con Suerte" (One Lucky Family, 2011), as Alex. In 2012 he delved in Mexico's musical theater when director Manolo Caro invited him to participate in "I Love Romeo y Julieta", an adaptation of the classic play with songs by Joan Sebastian , Marco Antonio Solis and Juan Gabriel. The cast also included Eiza Gonzalez, Alan Estrada Eugenio Bartiloti, among others. In 2013 Televisa's producer Rosy Ocampo cast him as Cesar Camargo in the telenovela "Mentir para Vivir" (Lie to Live). Lucas also lived 5 years in Brazil and speaks Spanish, Portuguese, French and English. In 2016 he moved to Los Angeles, California. In 2017 Lucas was cast in a Netflix original series called La Casa de las Flores that is coming up on August 10th 2018.

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.
