discovered some very interesting things about this Military Man turned Model\/Actor.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI was in the Canadian Military for twenty-two years.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also done a lot of community and technical work, technical meaning engineering work that has helped the community and I won the Governor General\u2019s Award for that.\u00a0 So that\u2019s on the career side.\u00a0 Personally, I\u2019ve done a lot of traveling.\u00a0 I studied Engineering in Alberta and through the Military in addition to in-house training and courses that deal specifically with military tactics.\u00a0 We go through a bunch of different technical courses including Physicals and Marksmen tests to ensure we are maintaining an excellent physical standard.\u00a0 My twenty-two years with the military included twelve years in the United Nations and the remainder was done with Special Forces and Elite Airborne Engineers.\u00a0 Between 1990 and 1995 I was a part of the Prime Minister\u2019s security detail, specifically Jean Chretien, Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell\u2019s staff team and I accompanied Jean Chretien to Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>It is safe to say becoming an actor and a model is something completely new for Frank.\u00a0 I asked Frank how he decided to join MAX Agency. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cI was scouted at an event.\u00a0 We were chit chatting with the scout and she asked me if I\u2019ve ever tried modeling?\u00a0 She said, \u2018I work for MAX Agency and we\u2019re looking for middle aged men from different ethnic categories.\u00a0 Would that be something you\u2019d like to try?\u2019\u00a0 A couple of weeks later I got a call, arranged to get my portfolio done and became a part of MAX.\u00a0 It\u2019s been great and I certainly don\u2019t regret it.\u00a0 I know my success will be due to my agent.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Frank is very optimistic about his career in the entertainment industry and it is something he plans to do for the rest of his life.\u00a0 Frank went on to tell us about his last project,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cProject drugstore was a print and commercial campaign for Shoppers Drug Mart.\u00a0 The print component was exciting.\u00a0 They had to take several shots and we did many wardrobe changes to get different looks.\u00a0 It was in the Harbourfront area of Toronto.\u00a0 The staff, stylists, production and photography team were great.\u00a0 It was relaxed and I didn\u2019t feel like I was in a print shoot.\u00a0 I got to wear different glasses and ties and I got to smile a lot.\u00a0 There was good chemistry on the set and the overall project turned out really nice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The commercial component required a lot of takes and it was in the early hours of the morning.\u00a0 It was a typical shoot with a lot of lights and a lot of changes with different takes and props and no props.\u00a0 We had thirty-six or some odd outtakes like what you might see on you tube.\u00a0 They fed us and made sure we were hydrated.\u00a0 Everyone was smiling.\u00a0 The commercial director was around us and very concerned making sure we were alright.\u00a0 Everything turned out pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Frank is very happy with his experience in the industry so far and looks forward to continued success in the business,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m very happy with MAX. \u00a0I feel it\u2019s a part of my family and the Agency that will propel me into the industry.\u00a0 I want more auditions and parts, modeling, videos, different genres and more exposure because I enjoy it so much.\u00a0 More modeling would be nice and if given the right opportunity I think I\u2019m sure I can do them proud.\u00a0 I see myself doing some major roles that will have an impact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0MAX Agency\u2019s Bookers are
