Frank Conniff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Conniff (born August 30, 1958) is a writer and actor who is perhaps best known for his portrayal of TV's Frank on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). From the second through sixth seasons of the show's time on Comedy Central, Conniff played one of the "mads" next to Trace Beaulieu.
After leaving MST3K behind, Frank went on to become executive story editor for the popular ABC series Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. He made a few on-air appearances on the show, most notably as "Rootie Kazootie", a baby-turned-adult due to Sabrina's wishing spell. He later showed up as a writer and later as head writer on the ill-fated Nickelodeon TV series Invader Zim, even making a few cameo appearances before departing from that show as well, marking the second TV show that he has been associated with that was cancelled due to conflicts with station management over content and creative direction, and the second show that has achieved cult status following its cancellation. In the summer of 2005 Frank provided the voice for legendary cowboy Buffalo Bill Cody in two episodes of The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd.
His father, Frank Coniff, won a Pulitzer Prize for International reporting in 1956 for a series of exclusive interviews with the leaders of the Soviet Union.
