Born:
March 7, 1990
Other than Wizards of Waverly Place, Daniel has guest-starred on Entourage, Hannah Montana, CSI: New York, Without a Trace, iCarly, Zoey 101, and is the voice of Teo in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Daniel moved with his family to Florida when he was 11 years old, but he now lives in California. Daniel was shopping with his mother at the mall when they were approached by an agent and asked if he would be interested in modeling. He booked 60 print jobs in a 4 month period! Daniel's interest in acting soon became stronger and he worked on several commercials and student films. From paying a blind child in "Ephraim" at 11 years old, (Daniel's first lead role in a short film) - this young actor has shown his abilities in a variety of diverse roles. Daniel is enjoying all the challenges that acting brings him and still finds time to continue his studies. He is currently enrolled in a Media Arts program. Daniels hobbies include firefighting, rifle shooting, all sports, working out at the gym, hanging with friends and teaming up with his brother playing X-Box live!
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.
