Frank Cavestani's early life was shaped by his upbringing in the vibrant city of New York. His father, with a long-standing association with the iconic Copacabana night club, played a significant role in Frank's formative years. Meanwhile, his mother worked as a New York telephone operator, instilling in him a strong sense of determination and resilience.
Frank's academic pursuits took him to the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he won a scholarship to hone his craft. However, it was his work with the New York Actors Studio that laid the foundation for his professional career. He went on to collaborate on numerous projects with the esteemed institution, eventually taking on the lead role in James Bridges' play, "Days of the Dancing", alongside the accomplished Shelley Winters. This opportunity arose after the original lead actor, Robert Walker Jr., suffered a leg injury.
Frank's contributions to the entertainment industry extended beyond his acting career. He played a pivotal role in the establishment of the renowned weekly newspaper, The LA Weekly, alongside publisher Jay Levin and actor Michael Douglas. This venture not only showcased his entrepreneurial spirit but also his passion for storytelling.
Currently, Frank resides and works in the heart of Hollywood, surrounded by the glamour of the film industry. He shares his life with his actress wife, Jade Hykush, and their talented daughter, Samantha, who is also an actress. Frank's latest project, Acting on the Web, has gained significant traction, with the goal of democratizing access to professional acting techniques worldwide.
