A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Elijah Thomas Temple is an American actor born in Austin, TX. His parents noticed his flair for entertaining at the age of 5 when he performed in a mini-play with his kindergarten class. Shortly thereafter he participated in local theatre camps. The talent was there, but the passion came at the age of 12 after he had a significant role in a children's play at a local theatre. Since then he has performed in several youth/teen theatre productions including: Peter Pan, Jr., Legally Blond, Jr, Hairspray, Jr., and Reality Stars - Greek Gods Edition. A favorite role was Eddie Pazinski in the main-stage dramatic production of "Over the Tavern." He held lead roles in several school productions - most notably Mr. Green in CLUE. In 2018, he was thrilled to be cast on OWN's critically acclaimed drama "David Makes Man" which received the Peabody Award as one of the most compelling stories in 2019. Elijah is interested in all aspects of television and film.
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.
