Mitchel Johnson
Born:
August 21, 1966
Mitchel Johnson is a British television and radio presenter. He is also the voice for many advertising campaigns in the UK and around the world. Johnson is best known for his work on Virgin Radio, Capital Radio and BBC TV. Johnson joined Live & Kicking at the start of series 3 as the voice-over man who lived in the cupboard and was never seen on air. His voice was already well known with listeners to Virgin Radio where he presented a show of his own. His voice has since featured on several other BBC shows including Friends Like These, Children in Need, The National Lottery, Record Breakers and Comic Relief. Johnson's voice was heard by millions around the world announcing the Hyde Park acts at Live 8 in 2005. He has more recently been heard on the primetime BBC One programme Tonight's the Night with former Live & Kicking colleague John Barrowman. Johnson can still be heard on many radio stations in the UK as the main station voice, as well as presenting on The Coast.
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.
