Gao Yang (born September 13, 1991, in Tangshan, Hebei) is a Chinese actor known for his versatile roles in film and television. A graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, he was raised in a family of traditional opera performers, which sparked his early interest in the performing arts. In 2016, Gao made his acting debut in the comedy film Mr. Donkey. He gained wider recognition in 2017 for his role as the villain Dao Wuhen in the historical romance drama The Flameās Daughter, and later that year starred in Beijing Drifters Love Story, earning the Most Promising Newcomer Award at the Asia Influence Awards.
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).
