Frank Bonsangue also known as Frankie the butcher was born and raised in Astoria, Queens. He has appeared in many Films, TV shows and commercials. He has also appeared in many cooking shows including the Food Networks Hot Off The Grill Show with Bobby Flay as a series regular, Frankie The Butcher, Meat Expert and Co-Host [over 60 shows]. Frank is very grateful for Bobby Flay for giving him the exposure on his show. Frank is very passionate about what he does as an Actor and has a passion for Food and loves cooking. Frank attended and graduated from Long Island City High School. His family has been in the meat business since 1910 and was located in the heart of Greenwich village. Frank left the family business the North Pole Meat Market in 1988 to work in the Famous Waldorf Astoria hotel as a Buyer for meat, fish and poultry. Frank decided to go back to school and take a broadcasting course at announcer training studios [something he always wanted to do], where he discovered acting. He also took various Acting classes throughout the city, including Stella Adlers Acting Conservatory, Michael Howard Studio and Young Actors Workshop where he studied with Acting Coach and former High school English teacher Bernard Rachel who is a dear friend today and always encouraging never to give up. Frank appeared in a few Off-Broadway plays and did some dinner Theater such as Tony and Tina's wedding. He starred in [5 years] and was co-writer in the Off-Broadway Dinner theater Show The Godfathers Messhugener Wedding [N.Y. Dinner Theater].

Frank started Acting professionally in 1995 and hasn't stopped since. Frank also works [when he's not acting] as a Teamster in the Theatrical 817 local union. Frank still occasionally works as a butcher usually during the holidays. He loves Italian music and of course Italian food. Frank is really grateful to be able to do what he loves to do for a living and thanks God for making all of this possible. One day at a time, he couldn't have planned it better.
