Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1992 to parents Bilal and Marshanette, it didn't take long for Frankie Ali to realize that he wanted to be a performer. Frankie, born Rasheed Allison, first stepped onto a stage at 2 years of age and has been entertaining people ever since. Throughout all levels of school, Ali landed both lead and supporting roles in all of the school plays. In his late teens, he and his parents decided it was time for him to get an agent. He soon came to see that many agencies were not legitimate. Discouraged, he gave up and began to focus on music and work. Soon, his mother fell ill and things seemed grim for him. While she recovered from her illness, Frankie, wishing to make his parents proud, sought after a contract with local agency Reel People and landed his first commercial and film roles. After some friction with the agency, Frankie searched for a new agency and found what he was looking for with Sasha Speiker. He landed a role in a Stephen King play, and then later that year, attended the Critics Choice Awards. With his new agent by his side, he landed job after job and was excited to be able to act alongside names like Tatyana Ali, John Beasley and Taryn Manning. In early 2016 he set his sights on larger roles and tells everyone in the words of Eddie Kendricks "I wanna love the life I live, so I'm gonna live the life I love". Show less «
