Let’s find out a bit more about the actor and director Frank Waters …
|
Born in Broken Hill during the First World War (in 1915), Frank worked extensively in radio, TV and film.
|
His family moved to Adelaide when he was three, and although he trained as a dental mechanic, he really wanted to be an actor. Consequently, he spent his evenings in repertory theatre, and then gained a job at 5DN in Adelaide.
|
Then, World War II intervened – Frank’s War service included stints in the islands around Australia and particularly in Borneo.
|
His determination to be an actor never flagged, though, and he decided that it was ‘Sydney or bust’ after the War. Initially he continued to work in dentistry, whilst also gradually making his name as a versatile actor both on stage and in radio.
|
During this period, Frank’s secret weapon was his wife Elaine – who used to read the other cast members’ lines with him as she was preparing dinner for the family. Something she apparently enjoyed enormously!
|
Actor Anthony Quayle was touring Australia in 1953 and was impressed by Frank Waters talent, offering to help him gain a scholarship to work with the Royal Shakespearean Company in Stratford, which he then did for eight months.
|
Sadly Frank passed away in 1972, aged just 57. He does, however, leave a strong legacy of radio shows in which he played quite a variety of roles, including Cattleman, Danger Is My Business, Dossier On Dumetrius, Dragnet, Gabrielle, The Hidden Truth and Hunt The Man Down.
