My Take
Frank Collison is exactly the kind of actor I want to celebrate. You know the face, maybe not the name, and that is the quiet curse of the great character actor. As Horace Bing in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and as Grandpa Goodman in Mr. Pickles, he quietly set the flavor of every scene he stepped into. Trained at San Francisco State, this Evanston native never needed top billing to leave a mark. I admire craftsmen who show up, deliver, and make the leads look better. Stories would be thinner without people like him holding the edges together.
