Ryan J. Duncan is a Los Angeles-based actor, singer, dancer, and producer, best known for The Shell (2019), Summer of Six (2016) and The Writing on the Wall (2014). Born and raised in Ridgefield, CT, Ryan first caught the acting bug at the age of five when he played The Gingerbread Man in a kindergarten production of the same name. He attended Northwestern University where he graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in Theatre and History and a certificate in Musical Theatre. Ryan fell in love with the Chicago theatre scene while attending Northwestern and decided to move down to Chicago post-graduation. He spent several years there before moving to LA. Ryan has had the opportunity to work with a number of great theater companies, including Theatre West, The Group Rep., Music Theater Works, Theatre at the Center, Williams Street Repertory Theatre, NightBlue Theatre, Metropolis Performing Arts Center, Texas Family Musicals, Towle Theatre, and The Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company. He has appeared in commercial spots for Monster and Nutriblend Animal Food and can be seen in several short films and web-series. Ryan is passionate about all aspects of the performing arts, including film, musical theatre, drama, new works, improv, comedy, and commercial content. Ryan is represented by the Robertson/Taylor Agency (RTA) and is a proud member of the Grok Acting Studio.
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.
