ALAN CUMMING/Frandsen
Few actors can claim Alan Cumming’s achievements as both an audience favorite and an “actor’s actor.” His gift for broad comedy has been put to good use in films ranging from the “Spy Kids” franchise to “Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion.” Alan’s skills as a dramatic actor have been equally burnished in such films as Julie Taymor’s “Titus” and Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” Alan distinguished himself as a filmmaker, sharing writing and directing credit with Jennifer Jason Leigh, on “The Anniversary Party.”

Alan is also a venerable stage actor, having received the Tony Award for his now legendary performance as the Emcee in the Broadway revival of Kander & Ebb’s “Cabaret.”

A true renaissance man, Alan has also worked as a published novelist, screenwriter, director and producer. A native of Perthshire, Scotland, Alan studied drama for three years at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
