The Star
Ledger calls him the "Ralph Kramden of this Generation!" GoodTimes
Magazine proclaims "Like
Gleason, D'Amico creates an on-screen persona that's larger than life
(in all
senses of the word)", Frank describes himself as a working “Character
Actor/ Comedian” who is focused with some really big ideas!
Frank
D'Amico was born in Mt. Vernon NY! A true New Yorker to the core! He grew up in
a blue collar, middle class, multi-cultured neighborhood! Frank started his
career by entertaining his fellow workers on a picket line for the Teamsters (Local
456) in WESTCHESTER NY…
after honing his onstage skills
he quickly became a national
headliner and opening act for many major artists!
Frank’s
Stand-up 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. After getting a taste of acting
and deciding to pursue it professionally, he join HB Acting Studios in NYC 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!
Recently
finished an independent feature film "The Dukes"
directed by Robert Davi...
starring Robert
Davi, Chazz Palminteri, Peter Bogdonivich and Frank D’Amico
“The Dukes”
had sold out International Film Festivals. Preview
audiences were impressed by what many considered would have been
Frank’s breakout performance.
Frank has also
completed a family adventure film "The Fly Boys" directed by:
“Rocco Di Villiers”
soon to be released. After seeing some footage Frank commented,
“This film has it all, it's gonna blow
people away!”
Frank
can be seen in Vanessa Parise’s
"KISS THE BRIDE" and Roger Nygard’s documentary ”TREKKIES”
(which features his Stand-Up Comedy Act), as well as
TV best
sitcom's such as:
"Big Kitty on The Parkers"
,
"NYPD BLUE” and
“Martial Law”
and in roles
he recurred on
"BECKER" ,
"Grounded for LIFE".
Special thanks to

skits on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
Frank loved the opportunity of working on that show.
