Before Alex Andreas did his formal training at LSMT (London School of Musical Theatre), he actually worked as a bodyguard for the likes of The Gap Band, Eurhythmics to name but a few. After leaving LSMT, Alex went on to play the part of the Big Bopper in the smash hit musical The Buddy Holly story. He toured the whole of the UK, Germany, Denmark and even Prince Renoirs club in Monte Carlo. He then went on to work in film and television with the likes of Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, and Guy Richie in the hit film Snatch. Some of his television credits include the BBC comedy My Hero with Ardle O'Hanlon, and the Channel 4 show, Make My Day with Mark Owen (from Take That).
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.
