Skilled American actor, Franklin Livingston moved to the United States at the age of 18. As a young boy living in Pakistan, he developed a love for performing. His mother recounts Franklin would imitate the radio songs from the age of only one. By the age of two, he accompanied her to music lessons where she taught singing. At the age of 18 Franklin had become a serious musician and performer. He performed at theater events and directed musicals with his friends who had a theater group. Franklin has devoted much time and effort into learning and honing his acting skills. His studies include learning at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama London, Moscow Arts Theater, New York Film Academy, Atlantic Acting School, and the Meisner Studio of Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. He also received training in filmmaking and directing from New York University and Yale University.

Franklin is accomplished at taking on serious roles. He also feels comfortable with the genres of drama and action. Franklin is an experienced writer and producer, so he knows all aspects of filmmaking, as evidenced by his moving performances.

Franklin has a unique opportunity, there is currently no one in Hollywood of Pakistani descent who has the education Franklin does. That is, one who is fully trained by high-level professionals in the fields of drama and the more serious film roles. In films made in the United States, there are no such leading roles being filled by Pakistani born actors that are qualified. Franklin has devoted much time and effort into acquiring the needed training and expert guidance to fill these roles.

Franklin is a consummate actor, filmmaker, and producer. He is a benevolent person and loves being an actor. He also enjoys cooking, traveling, sightseeing, motorcycling, driving through states, or jet-skiing.

Franklin has seen the way other actors with brown skin have made some headway, but they have typically done so through comedic roles. Even still, these actors tend to be from India and not born in Pakistan. It can take significant time and effort to generate a change in Hollywood, but Franklin Livingston is up for the challenge.
