Biography

Freddie Fralick was born on June 4, 1888 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He was an actor, known for The Price of Art (1912), The Lone Ranger (1949) and The Real Impostor (1913). He died on May 13, 1958 in Hollywood, California, USA.

Fralick started his career in stock in 1898 before joining Biograph in 1912. He became a talent casting agent who worked for producer Thomas Ince and started his own agency in 1923. Freddie is credited with finding actor Lloyd Hughes (with no leads, in a city of 600,000), when Ince wanted to hire him after seeing him appear briefly in a crowd scene of a movie.

According to an article in the May 17, 1931, issue of the Los Angeles Times, Fralick's first six clients as a Hollywood talent agent were Lewis Stone, Ernest Torrence, Hobart Bosworth, Lloyd Hughes, and Sam De Grasse (whose name the article misspells as De Graaf). He later added Harry Carey, Doris Kenyon, Laura La Plante, George Marion, Charlie Murray, Jack Mulhall, and Milton Sills to his roster.
