Constructor Details

#initialize(imdb_id, title = nil, parser = "HpricotParser") ⇒ Celebrity

Initialize a new IMDB celebrity object with it’s IMDB id (as a String)

celebrity = Imdb::Celebrity.new("0095016", "celeb name", "Parsing Class")

Imdb::Celebrity objects are lazy loading, meaning that no HTTP request will be performed when a new object is created. Only when you use an accessor that needs the remote data, a HTTP request is made (once).
