Frank Wood

Character actor Frank Wood kick-started his career with a series of bit parts, often cast as professional types or (occasionally beleaguered) everymen. Notable credits include performances in such A-listers as Down to You (2000), In America (2002), and Keane (2004). 2007 witnessed something of a career breakthrough for Wood; that year, he appeared in the critically acclaimed theatrical features Michael Clayton and Dan in Real Life, acted in Michael Lehmann's stoner #92;comedy Flakes, and landed a regular supporting role as consulate worker Greg on the offbeat HBO #92;comedy series Flight of the Conchords. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
