Frank A. Langella Jr. (; born January 1, 1938) is an American actor. He eschewed the career of a traditional film star by making the stage the focal point of his career, appearing frequently on Broadway. He has received four Tony Awards (out of seven nominations) as well as nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, an Emmy Award, and two Golden Globe Awards. Langella made his Broadway debut in the 1966 play Yerma. He since established himself as Broadway star winning four Tony Awards, his first two for Best Featured Actor in a Play playing intellectual lizard in Edward Albee's Seascape (1975), and a wealthy and cruel landowner in Ivan Turgenev's Fortune's Fool (2002) and Best Actor in a Play for his roles as Richard Nixon in Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon (2007), an elderly man suffering from Alzheimers in Florian Zeller's The Father (2016). He was also Tony-nominated for Dracula (1978), Match (2004), and Man and Boy (2012). Langella's reprisal of the Nixon role in the film production of Frost/Nixon directed by Ron Howard earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Langella's other notable film roles include parts in Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970), Mel Brooks’s The Twelve Chairs (1970), Dracula (1979), Dave (1993), The Ninth Gate (1999), Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), Starting Out in the Evening (2007), Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010), All Good Things (2010), Robot & Frank (2012), Noah (2014), Captain Fantastic (2016), and The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). On television, Langella portrayed Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger in the HBO movie Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight (2013) and Senator Richard Russell Jr. in the HBO film All the Way (2016). Langella also had a recurring role as Gabriel, the KGB handler for the lead characters in the FX series The Americans (2013–2017) and Sebastian Piccirillo in the Showtime tragicomedy series Kidding (2018–2020).
