Fran Kranz Fan

Welcome to Fran Kranz Fan, one of the oldest, largest and only major resources for the uber talented Fran Kranz. You may know Fran from The TV Set, The Village or Wieners but he's most famous for his inspired portrayal of loveable Topher Brink on Joss Whedon's amazing but short lived Dollhouse.

Just added 182 HD screencaptures of Fran as Topher Brink in S02xE02 of Dollhouse entitled, “Instinct” – thanks Kara!:

Just added 6 MQ photos of Fran at The Last Meal Premiere Screening from September 23, 2008:

Sorry, I suck, I’ve been gone forever but I’ve been involved in politics and campaigns, plus two moves in 8 months (one of them major) and a career change so I’m crazy insane and busy, busy, busy.

An update: Friends with Benefits was, indeed, picked up but Fran won’t be in it. Instead he’s been off Broadway in The Bachelorette, here’s a little theater review of his performance:

Just added 2 5 kind of late MQ photos of Fran arriving at the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards on the 11th:

According to Zap2it.com (take this lightly, may or may not be true) Fran has landed a role in the Friends with Benefits series pilot. Here’s what they had to day:

Kranz (“Dollhouse”) will play one of a group of people looking for love in “Friends with Benefits,” the HR says. The show comes from “(500) Days of Summer” writers Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber and “Wedding Crashers” director David Dobkin.
