All About Frank

He's been a student, a bouncer and a salesperson, but now Frank's got his sights set on becoming a VJ. It doesn't hurt that he's got a dashing look and a charming personality, either. Frank likes to kick back with a Kanye West or Maroon 5 CD, but his favourite live performance was Young Buck (and he didn't even buy the ticket!). Sit back and watch Frank's spur-of-the-moment audition tape now - and then read his Q&A!
