This just popped up on YouTube, and I thought everyone here would like to see it. It’s meaningful to me because I had no idea that Frakes was personally engaged in the fight against pancreatic cancer (because of his late brother). The highlights are:
- Science Fiction is not Frakes’ “genre”
- How Frakes’ wife (Genie Francis) almost got attacked by a lion when she was a child
- The Riker Maneuver (Frakes is still a little embarrassed)
- Why Riker played the trombone
- How Daniel Frakes died
- PanCAN’s Purple Stride Walk (It happened on April 27th. Sorry, this video is a week old. They do have weblinks at the end of the video if you’re interested in helping)
Strange thing to claim. The vast majority of movies and TV he has directed has been sci-fi or fantasy.
