Beginning his acting career at 10, Frankel performed on stage until age 16, when he broke from the theater. Frankel returned to his studies at age 20 and made his made major debut with the TNT film A Season of Giants. As Frankel's resume of television and film credits continued to grow, his personal life saw both grief and happiness. In 1990, his brother, Joe Frankel, died in a flying accident, and a year later he wed Caroline Besson, a French advertising executive. In the mid 1990s, Frankel gained cult status after appearing in two short-lived Fox television series: as British ex-secret agent Carlton Dial in Fortune Hunter and as the Ventrue vampire Prince of San Francisco in Kindred: The Embraced. In 1996, before the birth of his second child, Frankel died in a motorcycle accident, not long after the broadcast of the final episode of Kindred.
