Frank Roman(I)
- Actor
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Frank Roman, a Nuyorican Sephardic,
migrated to Miami, Florida and with theatre, television and film
credits to his name, he has become an exciting talent in Hollywood.
Frank began his acting career as the lead in six theatrical productions
from the East Coast to the West. He has starred in such stage hits as
the famous musical "The Fantasticks" and Neil Simon's comedy "California
Suite."
When Frank made "the move" to Los Angeles, he was quickly discovered by
Mel Brooks, who starred him in his comedy Life Stinks (1991). The two funny men
worked together again on two more Mel Brooks' comedies. With this solid
comic endorsement, Frank made the transition to features. Soon
thereafter, he found himself starring opposite other comedy greats such
as Ellen DeGeneres in Mr. Wrong (1996), and Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in The Odd Couple II (1998).
His film work has taken him to exotic locations such as Manila, Moscow,
and, most recently, Rome, where he wrapped location shooting for the
expected summer hit, Envy (2004). However, one of Frank's favorite memories
was the strip search in Bucharest, Romania. (Frank considered this one
of the perks in his contract.)
Having guest-starred in more than 20 network shows, Frank has had the
opportunity of working with some of TV's most accomplished
actors...from Brian Dennehy in The Fighting Fitzgeralds (2001) to Jenna Elfman in Dharma & Greg (1997). But, Frank
isn't limited to comedy, as he has demonstrated with his critically
acclaimed dramatic performance in The X-Files (1993) during the show's Final
Season "John Doe" episode as the devious Domingo Salmeron and as Cesar
Rodriguez in "Noriega: God's Favorite". He has also had the opportunity
to appear in other stablemate shows like NYPD Blue (1993), Diagnosis Murder (1993), ER (1994),
Becker (1998), and Quantum Leap (1989).
In 2003, he worked alongside Ben Stiller and Jack Black in Barry Levinson's new
feature comedy Envy (2004). Also, he can be found in the recurring role of
Reno on the NBC/Grammet sitcom In-Laws (2002), starring Dennis Farina and
Jean Smart.
