A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Benny O. Arthur is an actor known for 'Get Lucky' (2019), 'Alexanderplatz' (2019) and 'Der Ring: Next Generation' (2013). He was born on December 20th 1997 in Berlin to parents of Ghanaian decent, which is why he grew up bilingually with English and German as his mother tongue. Since preschool, Benny attended a State European School (SESB). In the summer of 2016, he completed his high school diploma at such a school, the Schiller-Gymnasium. His interest for acting developed early on, which is why Benny has been engaged in local Theater Groups since the third grade. Benny made his first professional acting experience in 2013, where he took part in the production "Der Ring: Next Generation" at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, directed by Robert Lehniger. In 2018 Benny was cast in Burhan Qurbani's cinema adaptation of Alfred Doblin's classic Novel "Berlin Alexanderplatz". What followed was his first major role in Ziska Riemann's comedy "Get Lucky".
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.
