Jonathan Frakes on WGN News
This just popped up on YouTube, and I thought everyone here would like to see it. It’s meaningful to me because I had no idea that Frakes was personally engaged in the fight against pancreatic cancer (because of his late brother). The highlights are:
- Science Fiction is not Frakes’ "genre"
- How Frakes’ wife (Genie Francis) almost got attacked by a lion when she was a child
- The Riker Maneuver (Frakes is still a little embarrassed)
- Why Riker played the trombone
- How Daniel Frakes died
- PanCAN’s Purple Stride Walk (It happened on April 27th. Sorry, this video is a week old. They do have weblinks at the end of the video if you’re interested in helping)
