our life section, if you haven't already
. Below you'll find a good representation of his
film, television, theatre, music, radio and other performance endeavors

Eckhart - One of Don's gifts is definitely his voice. He
frequently performs voice overs for televison and film. In case
you didn't know it, Don is in his third year as the voice of Boss
Mouse on the TV cartoon series "Eckhart". The cartoon,
co-produced by Cellar Door and Catalyst Entertainment, chronicles
the curious adventures of Tiny Eckhart, a small mouse who made his
first appearance in "The True Meaning of Crumbfest". Follow his
adventures in the 'outside world' and the problems he faces in his
everyday life. Watch it on Teletoon.
Car Cameos - You may not recognize him, but two of Don's
Model T Fords will be featured in a new film by director Robert
Townsend called "A Thousand Black Guys Named George".
The sequence is set in 1924. They are filming in June.
LFN - Walter's Wenches News - Don's
most recent TV run spanned several seasons on La Femme Nikita as
the popular hip and humane section agent Walter. Visit our forum
for fans and friends, including Walter's Wenches II at http://pub70.ezboard.com/btheofficialdonfrancksforum.
You'll meet other LFNers there who can put you into touch with the

did their best to Save LFN.
