Frank O'Connor on AllMovie

A onetime stage actor, Frank O'Connor was a prolific writer/director in the silent era. During his busiest period as a director (1921-1929), he wrote and helmed such enjoyable time-fillers as Lawful Cheaters (1926). Returning to acting when sound came in, he played innumerable bit roles as cops, commissioners, clerks, and such until his retirement in 1953. This Frank O'Connor should not be confused with the thesp of the same name who was married to novelist Ayn Rand.
