Komedy, Commercial Instruction

Hailing from Chicago, the first of four sons to Irish immigrant parents, Frank grew up with a serious work ethic, which served him well when he began coaching his high school wrestling team, then climbing Downtown skyscrapers as a Journeyman Ironworker to owning and operating his own Night Club. Frank’s a BIG ball of energy and he likes spreading it around! After being hit by a car and told he may lose his leg, Frank went straight to the light, the spotlight that is. What he realized -- more than jamming to techno at 3:00AM, more than pinning high school students to the gym floor, and more than bending iron with his bare hands -- was that he wanted to make people laugh. Frank’s career began at "The Second City" and soon was cast in over 200 commercials such as, Tombstone Pizza, Sony, Snickers, Nike, Samsung, just to name a few. To continue on his path for success, Frank moved to LA where he booked roles on "My Wife and Kids", "Providence", "The Man Show", "The Tonight Show", "Garfield The Movie", "The Amanda Show", "Jack Pot", "Club Dead" and recently his own show "BIG!" on Discovery. Frank is a true believer of spreading his energy around and in doing so, he has worked with children across the country. After teaching at a number of schools, Frank now focuses his attention to the "All About Kids Youth Conservatory". He is a member of UCLA’s Imagination Workshop where he helps patients communicate and deal with different issues using theatre exercises. He is also a contributor to the Children First Foundation.
