Frank Langella

Frank A. Langella Jr. (; born January 1, 1938) is an American actor known for his roles on stage and screen. He eschewed the career of a traditional film star by making the stage the focal point of his career, appearing frequently on Broadway. He has received numerous accolades including four Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award as well as nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, an Emmy Award, and two Golden Globe Awards.

He has won four Tony Awards: two for Best Leading Actor in a Play for his performance as Richard Nixon in Peter Morgan's ''Frost/Nixon'' and as André in Florian Zeller's ''The Father'', and two for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his performances in Edward Albee's ''Seascape'' and Ivan Turgenev's ''Fortune's Fool''. His other Tony-nominated roles were in ''Dracula'' in 1978, ''Match'' in 2004, and ''Man and Boy'' in 2012.

His reprisal of the Nixon role in the film production of ''Frost/Nixon'' directed by Ron Howard earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Langella's other notable film roles include parts in ''Diary of a Mad Housewife'' (1970), Mel Brooks’s ''The Twelve Chairs'' (1970), ''Dracula'' (1979), ''Masters of the Universe'' (1987), ''Dave'' (1993), ''The Ninth Gate'' (1999), ''Good Night, and Good Luck'' (2005), ''Starting Out in the Evening'' (2007), ''Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'' (2010), ''Robot & Frank'' (2012), ''Noah'' (2014), ''Captain Fantastic'' (2016), and ''The Trial of the Chicago 7'' (2020).

He also played Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger in the HBO movie ''Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight'' (2013) and Senator Richard Russell Jr. in ''All the Way'' (2016). Langella also had a recurring role as Gabriel, the KGB handler for the lead characters in the FX series ''The Americans'' (2013–2017) and Sebastian Piccirillo in the Showtime series ''Kidding'' (2018–2020).
