A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Actor and writer Sean Scott McCracken is well known for playing the well-heeled, confident "Tailor" in the Mens Wearhouse campaigns (2017-2021), while positively delivering the line, "you're going to like the way you look." He just doesn't guarantee it like his predecessor, rather leaves it to the client to own the look. Equally adept at playing difficult men, and compassionate father types, he finds much of his inspiration from growing up in a large, creative family and love of life on the road. He was born in Sacramento, CA to a former Miss Idaho, later Image Consultant and Personal Shopper, Kinne Marie Holland, and retired DEA agent turned entrepreneur, William Russell McCracken. He was born the last of six children between the couple. At a young age, he and the rest of the McCracken family managed California's largest Llama farm in the 80s. His grandfather, William James McCracken, an ARMY private, was the first pilot to fly mail out to sea, and the first and only to moor a blimp to the Empire State Building (1931). Maternal grandfather, Yale Bertie Holland, worked at the sugar beet factory in Nampa, ID and later became a real estate developer in the Treasure Valley. Both grandmothers, Margaret Elaine McCracken and Ruth Holland were the essential rock foundations that supported the family structure. Sean Scott McCracken is also a real estate agent in Idaho, a certified EMT, PADI Master Scuba diver, and regular Universal Type O- blood donor at Red Cross. He splits time between LA, NY, and the Intermountain West.
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.
