Crystal Balint is an award-winning actor with a career that spans more than 20 years, working extensively in both television, film and theatre in Canada and abroad. Born & raised a small town in the Rocky Mountains, Crystal has had a passion for the arts since childhood, singing and acting with her local community theatre while still in elementary school. She's followed that passion to build a career that has brought her many successes, both on the stage and the small screen. Based in Vancouver, BC and appearing on many renown productions over the span of her career, Crystal has worked alongside some of North America's finest talent, with notable credits including sci-fi favorites like CW's The 100, Disney's Mech-X4, Supernatural, Arrow and Continuum, and dramatic series such as ABC's The Good Doctor, Prison Break, Get Shorty, The L-Word and Arctic Air. In 2019, Crystal's leading role as Iris Bearden in Britbox's spin-off series The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco won her a Best Actress Leo Award. In addition to a recurring guest appearance in the upcoming final season of Supergirl, Crystal will next appear as a series regular in the highly anticipated Netflix original series Midnight Mass by writer/director Mike Flanagan. She will also appear in The Midnight Club, the forthcoming Mike Flanagan created series for Netflix, which is set to air in 2022.
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.
