Frank Jakeman

Frank Jakeman dreamed of living in London Zoo and looking after the animals when he was a schoolboy. In 1974, at the age of seventeen, he made this dream come true. By the end of the decade, however, a love of Cinema had emerged and, inspired by some of those great 70's classics, Frank grew restless to pursue a career as an Actor. Leaving 'a room with a Zoo' for the uncertainty of acting and the possibility of losing both, made Frank even more determined to see his gamble pay off. He trained at East 15, one of the best drama schools in England and, since 1983, he has appeared in many television dramas and feature films. From the 80's classics like Dempsey & Makepeace, Minder, Blott on the Landscape and Bergerac to The Bill, EastEnders and A Game of Thrones, Frank has been a regular face on British TV. He has worked on big-budget movies including Deathwish 3 for Michael Winner and Brazil for Terry Gilliam in the same year. A chance to compare two Directors who proved to be complete
