Quốc Trọng (b. Trần Quốc Trọng, Hanoi) is a Vietnamese film actor and director. A graduate from the second acting class of the University of Theater and Performing Arts of Hanoi, he began working as an actor of the Vietnam Feature Film Studio, appearing in films since the late 70s. Before becoming famous nationwide for his role as "Red-haired" Xuan in the adapted series "Dumb Luck" (Số Đỏ, 1990), Quốc Trọng had participated in many films, leaving the strongest impression through these roles: Long in "The Story of Coconut Village" (Câu chuyện làng dừa, 1977, d. Bạch Diệp), the young soldier in "Town within reach" (Thị xã trong tầm tay, 1983, d. Đặng Nhật Minh), Lê Văn Bờ in the TV series "Crime and Passion" (Tội và tình, d. Châu Huế), Thằng in "The Storm" (Giông tố, 1990, d. Nguyễn Mạnh Lân), Triều in "The Curse of the River" (Lời nguyền của dòng sông, 1992, d. Khải Hưng)...
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.
