Jordan Kaplan

Biography from TheMovieDB

What makes Jordan unique is the life experience he can bring to a role. He was initially trained as a scientist and earned an undergraduate degree in biology/chemistry and master’s degree in public health. He is also a musician; he toured as the drummer of the rock n’ roll band Needle Points from 2013-2017. In addition to drums, he also plays guitar, bass, and can probably get by on some other instruments as well. He has been fortunate enough to travel the world having visited over 30 countries by the age of 30. He volunteered in Haiti on multiple occasions after the devastating earthquake in 2010 and also spent time working with less fortunate communities in Peru and The Philippines. In June 2017, having just graduated from The University of Pennsylvania and no longer in a band, Jordan decided to finally try his hand at acting and comedy, which had always interested him. He dove in fully in 2019 when he threw some clothes and a sleeping bag in the back of his Prius (you’re welcome) and made the drive from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles.  Jordan now frequents open mics in the LA area to build his stand-up act. He was accepted into the Conservatory at Second City LA; the guy loves comedy. When not comedy-ing, he can be seen in Hollywood as a barista or working for remotely for a health department on Covid-19 related issues.

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.
