Franky G (born Frank Gonzales; October 30, 1965), is an American film and television actor. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Xavier in Saw II and Wrench in the 2003 remake of The Italian Job as well as other various roles such as Lupus in Confidence and Detective Cruz in Wonderland.

Biography

Franky G. a tourné son premier film en 2002 intitulé Manito qui a remporté le prix du meilleur film dramatique au festival du film de Sundance.

Après avoir été remarqué, pas mal de propositions affluent et en 2003 il enchaîne les rôles avec les films Confidence avec Edward Burns et Rachel Weisz, Braquage à l'italienne avec Mark Wahlberg et Charlize Theron et Wonderland au côté de Val Kilmer.

En 2005, il joue dans la série Johnny Zero mais celle-ci s'arrêtera au bout de 9 épisodes, et dans le film Saw 2 qui remporte plus de 152 millions de $ dans le monde pour un budget de 5 millions.

Durant l'année 2006, il revient jouer son rôle de Xavier dans Saw 3 mais pour quelques secondes à l'écran et il tourne dans une nouvelle série avec Ray Liotta et Amy Smart intitulé Dossier Smith. Malgré les critiques positives, les spectateurs ne sont pas assez nombreux pour que la série puisse avoir une saison 2.

À partir de là, on ne verra que très peu Franky G. au cinéma ou à la télé à l'exception du film sorti directement en vidéo The Devil's Tomb en 2009.

En 2010, il tourne dans le drame Gun Hill Road.

Manito is set against the backdrop of a changing inner city that was once a neighborhood filled with thugs, drugs, poverty, violence, and dubbed the cocaine capital of the United States, tells the story of two brothers Junior Moreno (Franky G), an ex-convict struggling to get his life back and Manny Moreno (Leo Minaya), the salutatorian of his high school class. Although the dealers were disappearing from the neighborhood, their violent legacy remained casting a shadow over the 'hood and its residents. The film begins on the morning of Manny's graduation when various principal characters reluctantly roll out of bed, communicating with each other in overlapping arguments and cell phone conversations. Muscle-bound hunk Junior Moreno immediately channels his ever-hot-tempered energy toward long-suffering wife Miriam (Julissa Lopez) as well as the Mexican foreman (Panchito Gomez) who recruits day workers for Junior's not quite legal home-plastering biz. Reasons for Miriam's wary demeanor soon become obvious: Being a husband and father hasn't cramped Junior's lady-killer instincts one whit, with wealthy female business clients definitely on his to-do list.
