Full Description
Special Event Frankie Quiñones is a stand-up comedian, actor, and creator, known for his character work. Frankie stars in HULU's critically claimed, THIS FOOL, for which he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the Independent Spirit Awards. Frankie also recently wrapped a pilot for his own sketch show at Hulu entitled GET FRANKIE. Frankie also recurs on FX's WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS and animated series FIRED ON MARS and VICTOR & VALENTINO, both for HBO MAX. Other acting credits include MR MAYOR, FELIZ NAVIDAD, THE DRESS UP GANG, PAPI CHULO, and the upcoming WALKING DEAD Spin off, to name a few. Entertainment Weekly calls Frankie’s performance in THIS FOOL the best comedic performance of 2022. My favorite comedic performance this year was Frankie Quiñones as ex-con Luis, the brash heart and baffled soul of this sneaky-smart, laugh-out-loud series. Away for eight years, Luis seems unfrozen from longer ago, with nostalgia for his '90s gang-banging days and a penchant for quoting Austin Powers at the most problematic times.[ew.com] Frankie's podcast, THE FRANKIE QUINONES SHOW, is produced by Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeartmedia, available on all podcast networks.Other Events
