Frank Meschkuleit was born on August 9, 1956 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He studied physical theater for two years, and his professional career started after he stumbled into an audition with Jim Henson's company. His audition was so odd he worked for a few days on the Sesame Street feature film Follow That Bird.From that moment on, Meschkuleit decided he wanted this to be his career."Once I saw adults playing for a living," he explained "there was no turning back".After that he moved on to show his talents to other children's shows, such as Fraggle Rock and Dragon as well as working on various Toronto-shot films including the prequel to The Thing, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, Bride of Chucky, and Alien vs. Predator.
