Joseph Moreland

Even as a young man growing up in historic Grafton, WV, Joseph Moreland showed a passion and talent for acting. His first "major" role was Oliver Hix, one of the Barbershop Quartet members in "Music Man" as a Junior in High School. Now, as a SAG-Eligible actor with an extensive list of IMDb TV and film credits (and growing), several of which are now streaming, such as "Casting Stones", "I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)", "Between Mercy and Me", "Alan and the Rulers of the Air", "One Cop's Journey", "Butterfly (Short)", and "Cobra Kai", Joseph has taken the passion that started on the stage in high school to the next level.  Some of those films have won awards in national and international film festivals. Joseph himself won Best Villain for his portrayal of Sgt. Kalmus in "I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)". Showing he's capable of portraying a wide range of characters, Joseph was a lead in "Mix Tape" as a less-than devoted husband and father, shot in Los Angeles, the main antagonist preacher in "Casting Stones", and the head doctor in "In God's Time".  His love of the stage has resulted in numerous roles at several stage companies in Cincinnati, including his recent portrayals of Sheriff Schmid in Footligher's "Bonnie and Clyde", and as Bill Austin in Loveland Stage Company's "Mamma Mia". Performing in Cincinnati Music Theater's jazz show, "Singables and Swingables", he was able to display his love a Jazz as a principal singer.  Always striving to improve his acting skills, Joseph has studied under private acting coaches in New York, Los Angeles and enjoys group acting sessions at Cincinnati Actor's Studio. Joseph has studied improv with Unbridled Citizens Brigade, Detroit Creativity Project and Houde School of Acting.  He loves the outdoors and has been blessed to have raised 4 wonderful children with his wife, Sandy

The Search Form


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.
