David Garrett

Biography from TheMovieDB

David Garrett was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. He grew up heavily involved in sports playing high school baseball as well as football. During high school he always had an interest in acting but was afraid to give it a try for fear of being made fun of by the football team. When sports were no longer an option for Garrett he and a couple of college friends decided to audition for a play in college. He was cast as an angry prisoner. Ever since being cast in his first play he has been acting since. Garrett studied acting intensely at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He credits his ability to his collegiate acting coach as well as his current coach. He believes acting is an outlet for people to go outside their own boundaries and should be about taking risks to get over fears. Garrett also does stand up comedy from time to time. He does not see stand up as a career choice but instead as a good time to make his friends and strangers laugh. He says he originally got into acting to do comedy saying Jim Carrey and Chris Farley were huge inspirations to him.

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.

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.
