Mamdouh Madah was an Egyptian actor. He graduated from Cairo University's faculty of law in 1990, and worked as a lawyer after his graduation, before switching his career to art. He participated in Al Haraka troupe's theatrical shows in the Cairo Opera House, and landed his cinematic debut in the 1999 comedy “Aboud Alal Hodoud” (Aboud On The Borders). He then started appearing frequently in films like “Kalemny Shokran” (Please Call Me), “Al Saher” (The Magician) and “Kaf Elqamar” (Moon's Palm). He died in February of 2015.
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:

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.
