Frank Opperman (1861–1922) was an actor in American silent films.[1] In 1916, he was reported to have had a 29-year career on stage and a 7-year film career.[2] Between 1903 and 1907, Opperman appeared three times on Broadway, in Little Lord Fauntleroy, Cashel Byron (an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Cashel Byron's Profession), and an adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin.[3]

In the 1915 short Keystone comedy film A Lucky Leap, Opperman portrays a store owner. Billie Bennett portrays his wife. In the story, their daughter, her love interest, and burglars all take part in a madcap adventure.[4]
