Brad Rowe (born May 15, 1970) is an American film and television actor who began his career in movies such as Invisible Temptation and Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss (which launched the career of Sean Hayes). He now works in public policy (specializing in cannabis policy, content production, criminal justice, and violence reduction) and is the chief executive officer of BOTEC Analysis. A University of Wisconsin–Madison graduate, Rowe originally worked as a finance manager for political campaigns in Washington, D.C. before moving to Los Angeles, California, to pursue writing and acting. After finishing his acting career, he returned to grad school and now teaches at Pepperdine University's School of Public Policy and the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. In addition to films, Rowe starred in an episode of the television series Outer Limits, titled "A New Life." In 1998 he was a portraying a recurring character named Walt in the critically acclaimed sitcom NewsRadio. The character was the nephew of the eccentric billionaire Jimmy James boss of the WNYX crew. He was originally intended (but did not go on) to be a regular in the show's 5th season. He also acted in the TV movies Vanished, Lucky 7, and Though None Go with Me, and took part in Tony Zierra's 2009 documentary "My Big Break" which follows the early careers of Rowe, Wes Bentley, Chad Lindberg and Greg Fawcett. It also references Rowe's movie "Shelter." He appeared on "General Hospital" as Murphy Sinclair. He is married to Lisa Fiori and they have one child, a son named Hopper.
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.
