A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Kevin Layne was born in London to Allyson Williams MBE, a senior Midwife, and Vernon 'Fellows" Williams, an entrepreneur and pioneer of London's world-famous Notting Hill Carnival. Layne grew up in Wembley, northwest London, and regularly visited his parents' native Trinidad and Tobago. As a teenager, Layne took a keen interest in acting, initially taking extra roles in shows such as Channel 4's 'Get up Stand Up' and television commercials. Having gained more life experience, Layne received the DaDAs (Dance and Drama Awards) scholarship from the Arts Educational School of Acting after having only auditioned 'once' in his entire life. Since graduating, with a Masters Degree in acting, Layne has appeared in several stage productions in London's West End, and has also featured in independent film productions, network television shows and Hollywood movie productions.
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.
