Frank X

Frank X

Frank X is a wonderful actor from Philadelphia who has appeared across the country in  a wide range of roles, many of them in Shakespeare.  We caught up with him late one night after a riveting performance at the Seattle Rep production of “Twelfth Night”.

Here he talks with Steve Rowland and reflects on the layers of meaning, across time, in being African American and playing the role of Malvolio, a servant, not originally written to be an African American.
