Jeff Fahey plays Frank Lapidus.

Background

  • Appered in the episode "When Irish Eyes are Crying" in the third season of the hit TV-series Miami Vice as an arms dealer who blows up Crockett's memorable Ferrari.
  • In 2007 we could see Fahey in the blockbuster movie Planet Terror as the charismatic restaurant owner J.T. The film also featured Naveen Andrews and was released in a double-bill as Grindhouse with the Quentin Tarantino film Death Proof, which featured fellow Season 4 newcomer Zoë Bell.
  • He's been an active actor for 26 years, and appeared in a number of TV-series; One Life to Live, Aventures dans le Grand Nord, The Marshal and Nash Bridges, which was created by Carlton Cuse.
  • His credits include over 70 films, mostly action.
  • Among his most prominent film roles is the title character in the modest cult film The Lawnmower Man which starred Pierce Brosnan. In it, Fahey plays a mentally handicapped landscaper named Jobe. Jobe acquires superior intelligence and becomes megalomaniac after a researcher (Brosnan) uses him as a test case for experiments with virtual reality. The research project is directed by a mysterious agency called The Shop. The movie, Hollywood's first ever treatment of virtual reality, was purportedly based on a Stephen King story, although King successfully sued to have his name removed from the film.
  • When not busy acting, he travels to Kabul, Afghanistan, where he has been supporting an orphange for several years.
