A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Melrose Park, Illinois, USA
Born:
December 14, 1965
Experienced Professional Actor with a demonstrated history of working in the entertainment industry. Skilled in Improvisation (Second City Chicago -Touring Co.), Performing Arts, Feature Films, Commercials and Drama. Strong media and communication professional with a BA focused in Theatre/Theater from Lewis University. Jon Marco (born John Christopher Marco; December 14, 1965) is an American actor, comedian and writer. As a native Chicagoan, Jon spent half his acting career in Chicago. Performing at many of Chicago's non-union, storefront theaters, lead to working in the Chicago improv community. After joining the well respected The Free Associates, he proudly became part of the touring company with Second City. Equity Shakespeare in the park and Regional Theater followed. After a short stint in NYC, Jon decided the most illogical thing to do was to move to Los Angeles at age 40. Although challenging, Jon has been blessed with many commercials, a handful of short films, small TV gigs, theater work and improv shows. Most recently, Jon played Skip in a comedy series called Pet Friendly, directed by comedian Whitney Cummings. It can be seen at Amazon Prime Video, Refinery 29 or at his website www.jonmarco.com. Holy Cow! Work begets work. Let the fun continue. Do you hear that Universe? On to the next...
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.
