A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Originally from the Congo, Nick Mukoko is a comedian in his thirties who, if he is now a confirmed stand-upper, first had a great career as a dancer. It was indeed from the age of three that he developed a passion for dance, after seeing Michael Jackson for the first time on television. He then took his first hip hop lessons at the age of 13 in an evangelist church (Charisma) and, lulled by the gospel spirit, he dreamed of making it his job. It was in 2011 that this dream took shape, when he danced with Arielle Dombasle for a year and, following that, his career continued by accompanying many other artists such as Gary Fico, Yael Naïm, Lorie, the Stars of the 80s, Tal or even Shy'm. In 2013, he even joined the cast of the musical Disco for a 4-month residency at the Folies Bergères and a tour throughout France. But at the same time, his passion for the theater caught up with him and in 2012 he enrolled in a theatrical improvisation school. This is how he reinvented himself, starting with small Parisian scenes until his revelation by the Jamel Comedy Club from 2014 to 2017.
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.
