Frank Langella first rose to prominence in New York acting in several productions off-Broadway. Winning a host of awards, he quickly established himself as a leading American actor capable of doing fine classical work. In 1975 he won Broadways highest award: the Tony for his work in Edward Alby's "Seascape." He moves freely between the New York stage and making movies and television.
Frank's film career quickly took off with his first two films "The Twelve Chairs" and "Diary of a Mad Housewife" and his unique presences has been enjoyed in many films since, most recently as William Paley in George Cooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck."
I trained with Frank at Lincoln Center with Elia Kazan and Robert Lewis and have always considered him a very special talent. His sensitivity to classical test and words in general give him a special point of view sometimes missing in American acting because of the lack of training in this area.
He is an actor of great intellegence and instints. I talked with Frank in his hotel room in Los Angeles where he was staying while completing a film.
