Paul Holgate as Frank Sinatra
Paul Holgate is fast becoming recognized as one of the most authentic re-enactors of Frank Sinatra’s work in this period. Although physically similar in many ways to Frank Sinatra in stature, build and even eye colour it is through the vocal interpretation of the works that really brings the essence of Frank's character to the performance. Having dedicated the last five years professionally to the study and public performance of large sections Frank Sinatra’s repertoire and absorbed just about every trait and nuance from countless hours of visual footage, recorded, written material and accounts from those who were lucky enough to be there Paul like a method actor literally sinks under the skin of his subject.
