The protagonist. Upon hearing that something big was going down in the town of Willamette, Frank charters a helicopter in order to investigate and leave with the "scoop of a lifetime". He tells the pilot to drop him off on the roof of the Willamette Parkview Mall, and return for him in 3 days.

The protagonist of the game, a photojournalist who has "Covered wars, y'know". Upon hearing that something big was going down in the town of Willamette, Frank charters a helicopter in order to investigate and leave with the "scoop of a lifetime". He tells the pilot to drop him off on the roof of the Willamette Parkview Mall, and return for him in 3 days.

Frank proves himself to be incredibly competent fighter and photographer, and his determination in getting his story allows many dark truths to come to light.

----

* {{spoiler|[[Afraid of Needles]]}}: He's not exactly thrilled at {{spoiler|having to receive his first shot of Zombrex}}.

* [[Badass Normal]]: And how! Armed with nothing but what lays around him in the store and fighting skills he learns as he levels up, Frank uncovers a government conspiracy, fights his way through thousands of zombies, takes on psychotic humans including a [[Monster Clown]], a trio of escaped convicts in a jeep armed with a minigun, a sniper family, and a cult leader as well as his flock, stops a terrorist plot, and even {{spoiler|takes on a military official in unarmed conflict... and ''wins''.

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Bishonen]]: Averted, [[Keiji Inafune]] designed him to be average-looking intentionally.

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: To an extent, Frank is able to hoist heavy items like benches and toss them and swing them around quite easily, and can get the ability to grab zombies and humans alike, lift them over his head, and fling them across the mall.

* [[Crazy Survivalist]]: In Infinity Mode, where you must kill other survivors for their food.

* [[Cross Dresser]]: Frank can put on women's outfits along with mens, and has no problem with it. Hell, he does a seductive pose and whistles indicating that he's pretty into it.

* [[Determinator]]: Nothing, not even 53,594 zombies, insane clowns, hispanic terrorists, and U.S. Special Forces soldiers will stop Frank from getting his story. Except, of course, the actions of the player.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Despite having minimal experience with guns (And having never shot another person before fighting Carlito), he can get headshots just fine.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]

* [[Insult Backfire]]:

{{quote|'''Brad''': You're one hell of a journalist aren't you, Frank? A hotheaded, underhanded, hotshot paparazzi with nothing better to do than to invade people's privacy.

Line 22:

* [[Intrepid Reporter]]

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Rough around the edges, but is eager to help save other people trapped in the mall...[[Artificial Stupidity|usually.]]

* [[Laughing Mad]]: After he learns from Isabela that {{spoiler|He's been bitten by a zombie and only has hours until he turns.}}

* [[Laughing Mad]]

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Is this when confronted with the game's various psychopaths, usually reacting with stunned silence by their antics (He does call out a couple of them: Jo, Steven, and Larry).

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: 50 of them, to be precise.

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: A lot of Frank's hand-to-hand skills involve various wrestling moves: including double lariats, face-to-floor slams, as well as grabbing others and simply tossing them. Fittingly, Frank ends up getting into zombie wrestling in the non-canon reimagining of Dead Rising 2: ''Off the Record''.

* {{spoiler|[[Zombie Infectee]]}}: Happens to him over the course of the game.
