Dean Waite, born and raised in Australia,has been a part of the entertainment industry for most of his life. Starting with a small theatre company at the age of eight he also landed his first lead role. Since then Dean has had many years training as both actor and singer. Classically trained, he has performed at the Sydney Opera House, appeared twice on “New Faces”, an Australian television talent search program and spent 12 months in Osaka Japan performing with an Australian Entertainment troupe. Dean moved to the U.S. and continued to study acting at A.I.D.A. in Los Angeles. His film credits include two lead roles; Josh in “Megan Is Missing” and playing Douglas Hewitt in “Damage Report”. Other credits include two supporting roles in film and 6 months in the sketch comedy group “Stand Up Sit Down” in Hollywood.
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.
