Frank Rod’s Experience Acting in Netflix Originals: "Last Call for Istanbul" and "The Swimmers"

Frank Rod, actor and film director at Video Content Shop LLC, has had the unique opportunity to appear in two major Netflix Originals: Last Call for Istanbul and The Swimmers. Though his roles were cameo-level, these experiences placed him on set with internationally renowned talent and inside the structure of large-scale, professional productions.

In Last Call for Istanbul, Frank shared scenes with Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Beren Saat, two of Turkey’s most celebrated actors, known for their leading roles and on-screen charisma. This romantic drama, set between Istanbul and New York, offered Frank not only valuable on-camera experience but also a deeper understanding of performance direction in emotionally charged settings. He was joined on set by Yara Mirek and Jerrob Weston, two talented actors who brought their own strengths to the project.

Meanwhile, The Swimmers, a powerful story based on real events, immersed Frank in a high-stakes, emotionally intense environment, reflecting the refugee journey of two sisters who escape war-torn Syria. In this project, Frank played the role of an Argentine soccer player, "Gustavo," which he brought to life through his distinctive long black hair and Latino-European features. His time on set added perspective to his craft and a deeper empathy that now fuels his storytelling as a filmmaker. 

Both projects were cast by Giovanni Leli, a respected casting director in Turkey and Europe. Working under his direction helped Frank refine his adaptability and professionalism as an actor in international productions. 

In addition to his work on Last Call for Istanbul and The Swimmers, Frank has also acted in numerous high-profile commercials, a mini-series in Italy, and international music videos. One notable project involved filming in Africa for a Russian singer, showcasing his versatility and ability to adapt to diverse creative environments.
