I just think that character actors get overlooked so much, but they are needed to play parts in movies and shows. I say Frank you seem to be a talented and nice fellow, and I say Best of Luck to you!

Now back to this clip, as I said that is his father playing Old Abe, and Frank Himself can be seen at 1:07 on the left side,(it is so quick you should pause it or you'll miss him. He is the lanky fella with a bowl type haircut. he was playing Tad Lincoln and he was about 12yrs old I believe. I got this info from Frank's website. I thought it might be much more interesting when it gets viewed. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, just wanted Frank to get recognized.

He has also played many other characters, one of my favorites is the hick cousin in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou?" I love it when he says : (speaking of his wife who has obviously left him) "she up and R-U-N-N-O-F-T" As he son is at the table and he thinks he won't know what he is talking of. O Brother is a great movie that has relly been underrated since it's release in I think 2001 or 2002, Check it out, really a great movie, and he was MADE for that part! He is a very talented actor.

This is cool, and for tv buffs, the actor John Collison is playing Abraham Lincoln. Who is that? He is actually the father of Frank Collison aka Horace the Telegraph Operator from none other than Dr. Quinn : Medicine Woman.
