Frankie made his theatre debut at the age of 7, in a musical production of Oliver!, where, upon his first entrance to the stage, he promptly fell off it. Many argue that this is where Frankie should have remained, but determined not to listen to those who probably knew better, Frankie continued onwards. 20 years later saw him finishing professional training in acting at The Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.
Looking back over the past 20 years, there is little notable merit to his name. After spending 2 years studying Rocket Science, Frankie followed his heart and ignored his mother and went to read Drama at Manchester University. Leaving here and having no employable skills, Frankie formed his own theatre company, Debut, based at the Thwaites Empire Theatre, Blackburn. Working as producer, director, and general dogsbody, Debut subjected audiences to 4 years of entertainment, staging many performances, ranging from full scale theatrical productions, to large charity concerts.
As a professional magician, working under the name of Prestige, Frankie has worked alongside performers such as Jimmy Cricket, Bobby Ball and Jim Bowen, all of who vowed never to work with him again. As an actor he spent 3 seasons touring the UK, playing leading patter men in Gilbert and Sullivans Mikado, The Sorcerer and The Pirates of Penzance, before people realised that he was far too young to be playing any of these roles.
When not performing, Frankie found the time to train for his Private Pilots Licence. During his final exam, 2000ft above ground, his door came open. Having avoided falling out of planes and learnt from falling off stage, Frankie continues to work as a professional actor.
