Frank J. Zupancic
Frank was born in Toronto, Canada and has Slovenian and Austrian ancestry. He went to Los Angles as a teenager and soon found himself working on camera cars and enjoying the movie industry. His interest did not stop there- he enrolled himself in acting classes taught by Peter Breck for two years. He went back to Canada to continue taking courses and workshops there. He founded a company so he would have the freedom to audition and pursue his love of acting. In 2007 Frank enrolled in classes at the Toronto Academy Of Film And Television, picked up an agent and started building his portfolio. He landed his first major role in the indie movie 'Sweet Karma' in 2009 and has since been featured in numerous TV and film projects.
Frank Jakeman
Frank Jakeman dreamed of living in London Zoo and looking after the animals when he was a schoolboy. In 1974, at the age of seventeen, he made this dream come true. By the end of the decade, however, a love of Cinema had emerged and, inspired by some of those great 70's classics, Frank grew restless to pursue a career as an Actor. Leaving 'a room with a Zoo' for the uncertainty of acting and the possibility of losing both, made Frank even more determined to see his gamble pay off. He trained at East 15, one of the best drama schools in England and, since 1983, he has appeared in many television dramas and feature films. From the 80's classics like Dempsey & Makepeace, Minder, Blott on the Landscape and Bergerac to The Bill, EastEnders and A Game of Thrones, Frank has been a regular face on British TV. He has worked on big-budget movies including Deathwish 3 for Michael Winner and Brazil for Terry Gilliam in the same year. A chance to compare two Directors who proved to be complete opposites in their approach to the job. It soon became obvious that big, important lead roles or even decent sized support roles in studio films only went to 'named' actors. "If you want the chance to play such parts and show the world what you are capable of, then the low budget indie world is where to be." Frank has played lead roles in many independent films including To Dream, Nest of Vampires, Quality Indigo, Christmas Slay, Invasion of the Not Quite Dead, Breathe, Faith, Hosts and many more. "I love working with young, up and coming directors. Their enthusiasm and excitement is infectious. Every single film seems to create its own close-knit family, a special 'bond'. Nobody is there for the money, it's all about the ART." As well as featuring in Game of Thrones, episode 6 of Season 8 - the grand finale, in late 2019 he wrapped on the feature film "Hosts" which was theatrically released in 2020. Frank also completed the feature film "Blood Highway", (originally titled "Faith") where he plays the lead, Martin. Frank also appeared in "Grace, Dead Man's Grip" in 2023.

Frank Jaquet
Frank Garnier Jaquet was born on March 16, 1885, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of the editor of the Milwaukee "Sentinel." His first appearance on stage was as Little Lord Fauntleroy in a children's play. However, the real beginning of his acting career was rather odd. Jessie Pringle was heading a stock company on Chicago's West Side. One week they were to present a show called "Arrah Gopaugh, or Warwick Wedding," in which Pringle had to do an Irish jig. Just before a performance she sprained her ankle badly. She would be able to play the part, but could not do the dance. The company sent for Jaquet, then a young man. Pringle did the whole show until it came time for the jig, at which point Jaquet, in dress and wig, stepped in, did the dance, then exited for Pringle to complete the show. Jaquet had made his professional debut, impersonating a woman. From then on, Jaquet was a popular character actor in the theater for twenty-five years playing on Broadway as well as with touring companies and regional repertory theaters, including the People's Theater Stock Company in Chicago, the Elitch Gardens Stock Company in Denver, the Empress Theater in St. Louis, the Oliver Theater in Indiana, and the Denham Theater in Denver. In 1934, at age forty-nine, Jaquet made his film debut in "War Is a Racket." Over the next twenty years, Jaquet appeared in over one hundred and forty films and TV episodes. His range was impressive, in that he was equally adept at playing kindly doctors as he was dastardly villains. Frequently he was called on to play politicians, in "Stanley and Livingston" (1939) and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939) among others. He was so believable that once he and two other character actors were hired to pass themselves off as real U.S. senators as part of a gag. In his many Westerns, he is often the villain, eventually brought to justice by Roy Rogers, Allan "Rocky" Lane, Sunset Carson, or the Cisco Kid. His other films include "Torchy Blane in Panama" (1938) in which he and Frank Orth appear in leopard skins as conventioneers, the war drama "Corregidor" (1943) playing a priest, and "Jungle Jim in the Forbidden Land" (1952), in which he looks obese and somewhat ridiculous in a safari outfit. He was cast against type by Billy Wilder in "Ace in the Hole" (1951) as the construction boss trying to free a victim trapped by a cave-in. One of Jaquet's later and best performances is in the "Bullets for Ballots" episode of "The Lone Ranger" (1950), playing Leander Knox, the corrupt town mayor whose reelection campaign is rigged by the lead villain. Jaquet pulls out all the stops as a fat, pompous, old windbag, eventually reduced to a cringing coward by The Lone Ranger and Tonto. He appeared in many television episodes in the fifties, including a semi-recurring role as Mr. Selkirk on "The Stu Erwin Show." By 1954, heart problems forced him to lose weight, so he looks a bit gaunt in the "I Love Lucy" episode "Bonus Bucks." Jaquet's last screen role was as a barfly in "Timberjack" (1955). Jaquet died on May 11, 1958 in Los Angeles of a heart attack.
Frank Jenks
Wavy-haired American character actor and musician Frank Jenks was the son of advertising man Frank Jenks and pianist Lillian Sadler. After his family settled in Los Angeles, he attended the University of Southern California. He learned to play trumpet, trombone and clarinet, but eventually dropped out of college and embarked on leading a band on the West Coast vaudeville circuit. He then took the next step and became a song-and-dance man. From being a hoofer, he made his way to the legitimate stage and from there to movies, at first playing orchestra leaders. While this required little acting ability, he soon came into his own as a comic actor, his cinematic stock-in-trade being fast talking reporters (his caustic delivery was used to best effect in His Girl Friday (1940)), droll Runyonesque henchmen, cabbies, grifters, cops, bartenders and drunks. His improvisational acumen in adding his own routines to varied comedy scripts led to his receiving Hollywood's sobriquet as "off-the-cuff Jenks". Amid numerous supporting parts, often for Universal's B-team, Jenks finagled the odd star billing, notably in a series of forgotten potboilers made by Poverty Row outfit PRC during the 1940s. From the early 1950s, he was a regular guest performer on television, appearing in just about anything, from Adventures of Superman (1952) to Perry Mason (1957).
