'John' in 'One Last Chance', as one of James Cosmo's mobsters in the Scottish Higlands. Enjoying varying roles across the UK's film & television spectrum since then, Frank has worked steadily increasing trade in an enjoyable and varying acting career. In 2007 he experienced working for the first time with director Ken Loach in his award-winning movie 'It's A Free World', where he threw the cat amongst the pigeons for award winning lead actress Keirston Wareing. In 2008 Frank attended the first ever Scottish Masterclass given by L.A.'s world famous acting teacher Bernard Hiller, where he was lucky enough to be invited to attend Mr Hillers Los Angeles masterclass later in the year, and had worked closely with Bernie his mentor ever since.
