A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Albany, New York, USA
Rodrigo Rojas was born and raised in Albany, New York to an actor and playwright-father and a political advocate and educator mother. His family played a significant role in introducing Rodrigo to film at an early age. They fostered his love for movies by frequenting the local cinema and drive-ins. Rojas credits New York for inciting his passion, and Los Angeles for providing the foundation to hone his craft. Smaller television roles, commercial work, and print have led him to his more notable appearances, such as a recurring role on "Modern Family," "Casual," and "The Last Ship" and a lead role in the Hallmark film, "The Big Grab." Rodrigo can also be seen in the crime thrillers "Instapsycho," and "Silk Road" alongside Jason Clark.
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.
