Biography

Frank D'Amico was born in Mt. Vernon, New York, a true New Yorker through and through, with roots that ran deep in the city's blue collar, middle class, multi-cultured neighborhoods where he grew up.

Starting his career in the most humble of settings, Frank entertained his fellow workers on a picket line for the Teamsters (Local 456) in Westchester, New York, where he honed his onstage skills and quickly became a national headliner and opening act for many major artists.

After making a name for himself in the stand-up comedy world, Frank's performance on Comedy Central drew the attention of director Roger Nygard, who was casting his next movie. Frank passed the audition and landed his first role as a supporting dramatic actor, and from that moment on, he was hooked on acting.

Joining HB Acting Studios in New York City with acting coach William Hickey and Acting Management with Kevin Osborne, Frank went on to land several "Feature" and "Guest Star" roles in film and television, and his breakout performance in the independent feature film Hitters (2002) directed by Eric Weston, starring Frank, won "Best Feature Film" at the 2003 Westchester International Film Festival.

In addition to his work in film, Frank can be seen in Vanessa Parise's award-winning film Kiss the Bride (2002) and Roger Nygard's documentary Trekkies (1997),which features his stand-up comedy act.

Frank has also had the opportunity to recur on TV sitcoms such as "Becker" and "Grounded for Life", and is one of the regular demons of decadence on the new TV show, Outlaw Radio, starring Mr. Cigar himself, Matt Alan and the multi-talented Ryan Stiles.
