Der Schauspieler Frank Mayo gehörte zu den meistbeschäftigen Darstellern, dessen grosse Zeit der Stummfilm der 10er und 20er Jahre war.

Sein Filmdebüt feierte er mit "The Thum Print" (11), es folgten "The Lure of the Windigo" (14), "The Jest of Jealousy" (15) und "The Adventures of a Madcap" (15).
