Frank Ieraci

Frank is a producer and actor known for Battleground ((2012), Sixty Minutes to Midnight (2017) and Mobile Homes (2017).

Frank stepped into the world of cinema in 1988 at the age of 16 when he signed up with a local casting agent and was hungry and willing to do various uncredited rolls to gain experience. After one year he landed his first audition for Back to the Future 2 to be cast as one of Biff's right hand men. Frank went on to numerous auditions after for the roll but did not make the final cut. Just 17 at the time, the frustration of the failed audition led Frank to step away from the camera. Frank went on to open his first successful business and finished his graduate degree in Hotel and Restaurant management. Years later, he bumped into Robert Cymbalski a friend from his teen years who also had a passion for film. Robert had continued pursuing acting and at that time introduced Frank to Director Neil Mackay who asked if he would like to try out for a roll in his current production. Frank was cast in his first actual roll as Domenic (a ruthless bank robber) in the feature film Battleground. Battleground was shot on a micro budget and hit numerous obstacles along the way. Frank, having been well seasoned from his own business, came up with quick witted innovative solutions to help producers Judd Tilyard and Ayz Warach overcome these obstacles which gained him an associate producers credit. The biggest obstacle the Battleground production faced came when Frank was involved in a near fatal car accident. Due to time and technical constraints, the producers were prepared to cut him from the film but Frank was determined to finish what he had started. Two weeks later Frank showed up on set in a wheel chair with a 13cm steel rod implanted through his shattered femur and insisted the he was ok. The producers agreed to allow Frank to complete his role and even used his injuries to push the story forward. This determination exhibited by Frank went on to be one of the highlighted features of the documentary short Skeleton crew: Behind the Scenes of Battleground by Ben McNeill.

Frank Ieraci was born on August 22, 1972 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada and raised in the nearby town of Bradford.
