Franky G (born Francisco Gonzalez October 301965), 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 Det. Cruz in "Wonderland." He started his career in theater doing plays like, "Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie" and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." He involves himself with theater because it is live and there is no "cut". He has played characters that range from a murderer to an inspiring Poet. He has produced a few indie films and plays through NYC. Franky in the future would love to direct and hopes to start his own film and theater production where he will focus on working with many Latino and non-Latino actors to create films that are different and moving and who have powerful and inspiring messages.
