Biography from TheMovieDB

Franco Maicas is an American actor and performer known for Somewhere in Queens (2023) and Fresh Kills (2024). He has an impressive background of professional training that includes The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, The Stella Adler Studio of Acting, The Barrow Group and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. A self-proclaimed old soul, Maicas's work has been described as reminiscent of an old school actor existing in a new generation. In 2022, Franco was cast in Ray Romano's critically-acclaimed directorial debut, Somewhere in Queens, playing Sebastian Maniscalco's son and a core member of the Russo family. The film debuted at The Tribeca Film Festival and released in theaters in 2023. Franco stars opposite of Romano, Maniscalco, Laurie Metcalf and Tony Lo Bianco. Franco was next cast in Jennifer Esposito's critically-acclaimed directorial debut, Fresh Kills. The film premiered at The Tribeca Film Festival, has won/been nominated for several awards (Best Narrative Feature - Hamptons International Film Festival, Artistic Director's Award - San Diego International Film Festival, Palm Springs Film Festival - Official Selection), and is slotted for a June 2024 theatrical release. Franco also stars as the lead 'Justin' in The Zombie Club (Amazon Prime) and can be seen and heard in a number of commercials and voice-overs.

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.
