Mats Holger Eklund, born June 1, 1955, in Malmö, is a Swedish actor and voice actor. Eklund studied at the State Stage School in Malmö 1977-80 and then worked at Malmö City Theater 1981-1994 with its Unga Teatern and in the regular ensemble in roles such as Jeff in "En doft av honung", Snow White in "Klassfiende", Mick Slugger in the wrestling play "Trafford Tanzi - den flygande snaran" (also on SVT in 1984), Cornwall in "King Lear", Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and outstanding contributions in "Möss och människor", "Don Juan" and "Gustav III". In the TV series" Skånska mord" he played the prominent role as Per in "Bessingemordet" (1986). He has also worked at, among others, Teater 23, Fria Teatern, and Radioteatern.
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.
