Frank Lauria II - Dennis

Born in the Bronx, New York, Frank was bitten by the entertainment bug at a very early age. While attending P.S. 33 and 83 he was cast in several school productions and won a variety of class awards for his writing. It was, however, the discouragement of family and teasing from friends that convinced him a career in the entertainment industry was, at best, impractical. So he put aside his dreams…for a while.
In high school a friend and he formed the band Kruciform in which he played lead guitar. With their unique brand of heavy metal, Kruciform attained some level of success in the greater New York area. That success continued for some five years. It was when contract negotiations with a record label broke down that Frank decided, once again, the entertainment career he had hoped for was most likely not meant to be. So he enlisted in the United States Navy.
As an Aircraft Weapons Systems Technician, Frank served his entire four-year naval career just miles south of Hollywood in San Diego, California. After completion of his military service, Frank elected to stay and study in San Diego. He graduated with a degree in Robotics and a career as a Computer Systems Analyst seemed both easy and practical for him.
His close proximity to the movie capitol of the world would prove to be the key to his future however, as the acting bug once again made itself known. Before long Frank decided, without telling his new friends, that he would begin acting classes.
It would seem his decision to finally make the entertainment leap was a good one as he has been featured in numerous television shows including; 18 Wheels of Justice; The Enforcers; The Chronicle; and So You Want to be an Actor? He has also landed either supporting or starring roles in such features as The Restaurant; Bashing; and of course The Five Stages of Beer.
Deservedly this time around his friends offer both support and encouragement.
