Frank Campeau entame sa carrière d'acteur au théâtre et joue notamment à Broadway (New York) dans quatre pièces, la première en 1904, la dernière en 1916. Entretemps, mentionnons Believe Me, Xantippe en 1913, avec John Barrymore, Henry Hull, Theodore Roberts et Mary Young.

Au cinéma, il contribue à quatre-vingt-quinze films américains (y compris trente-neuf westerns), dont une soixantaine muets, le premier étant le court métrage Kit Carson's Wooing de Francis Boggs, avec Jack Conway, sorti en 1911.

En particulier, il apparaît dans trois films muets de John Ford, Le Pionnier de la baie d'Hudson (1923, avec Tom Mix et Kathleen Key), La Tornade (1923, avec David Butler et Gladys Hulette) et Trois sublimes canailles (1926, avec George O'Brien et Olive Borden).

Autre fait notable, il collabore à quinze films muets ayant pour vedette Douglas Fairbanks, sortis de 1916 à 1921, dont A Modern Musketeer d'Allan Dwan (1917) et His Majesty, the American de Joseph Henabery (1919), tous deux avec également Marjorie Daw.

Parmi ses films parlants, citons The Gamblers de Michael Curtiz (1929, avec H. B. Warner et Lois Wilson), Abraham Lincoln de D. W. Griffith (1930, avec Walter Huston dans le rôle-titre, lui-même personnifiant Philip Sheridan), L'Attaque de la caravane d'Otto Brower et David Burton (1931, avec Gary Cooper et Lili Damita), ou encore Robin des Bois d'El Dorado de William A. Wellman (1936, avec Warner Baxter dans le rôle-titre). Son dernier film, où il tient un petit rôle non crédité, sort en 1940.

As described in a film magazine, Alexis Caesar Napoleon Brown (Fairbanks) learns that his mother was a great princess from the European province of Vulgaria but became an outcast because she did not marry royal blood. Alexis believes that if one concentrates on one thing long enough, it will come true. He is continuously concentrating on the idea some day he will be king of Vulgaria. He tells his ambitions to the girl of his dreams (Percy), who is the "patient listener." After one of his conferences with his patient sweetheart he goes home and dreams he is king of Vulgaria. On all sides his life is threatened by Black Boris (Campeau), who aspires to the throne. Arrangements are made for him to marry the Princess Valentina, but after one glance at her he is ready to run away. However, he is persuaded to remain and it becomes necessary for him to fight a duel with his rival Boris. Alexis, not knowing how to use a sword, puts up a poor fight and after a short struggle is sent flying down a steep precipice. It becomes steeper and steeper until Alexis awakens, having fallen out of bed. He is cured of his desires and is happy in his little home in New Jersey with his "patient listener" as Mrs. Alexis Caesar Napoleon Brown and a two-year old to pass his time with.
