Mek Jirakit Thawornwong is an actor born in Bangkok. In 2017, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in communication arts from the faculty of humanities at Kasetsart University. His younger sister is GMMTV actor and singer Mook Worranit. With a desire to become a singer, Jirakit participated in the seventh season of the reality tv singing competition "The Star" representing Central Thailand but didn't make the top twenty-four. He auditioned again for its eighth season, this time representing the south though he was still eliminated. Mek was later offered and signed a contract with GMMTV. In 2011, Mek got his start in the industry as a host of "Bang Music Buffet" before being tapped to play Pete in the 2014 film "Part-Time Lover." On November 15, 2022, Mek announced his departure from GMMTV.
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.
