Biography from TheMovieDB

Jay John Michael Hector was born in the King George Hospital in London, the middle child with one older brother and one younger sister, and spent his youth living in the English county of Essex, studying drama and art.  At just 16, Jay started working in the City of London for Goldman Sachs, where his tenacious work and innocent charm got him noticed by everyone. After 3 years of working with Goldman Sachs, he was headhunted by other global leading companies such as British Petroleum, JP Morgan Chase and the London Metal Exchange. Jay took the city by storm. If it had not been for his leading man looks and fast progression within the Entertainment industry, Jay would have gone on to trade for the most recognized names in banking... But his love for acting was calling him.  His acting career began when he was signed to a world-leading Talent group, ELITE Talent Management, who got him small roles on British TV & in commercials. Director Suki Singh saw Jay's potential and decided to offer him a few small parts in the films he was working on.  After comfortably starring in a number of productions it was clear Jay was of leading man status. He was offered meetings with multiple talent agencies in the US who couldn't wait to sign him. So Jay decided to give up business to show business and move to Los Angeles. He obtained his 01 Visa, achieved for his Extraordinary Acting Talent and is set for a busy career with multiple projects already in the pipeline.  [Credit IMDb]

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.
