Frank William Abagnale, Jr. Is an American former check confidence trickster, forger and impostor who, for five years in the 1960s, passed bad checks worth about .5 million in 26 countries. During this time, he used at least eight aliases to cash bad checks. Currently he runs Abagnale and Associates, a financial fraud consultancy company. His life story provided the inspiration for the feature film Catch Me if You Can, based on his ghostwritten biography of the same name. More info: en.wikipedia.org

yall are dumb god doesnt even exist so why are you guys arguing?
he looks so innocent aww
but he is sure a genius
We all do wrong things…what matters is what we do to redeeming ourselves. Paul, before his conversion, had Christians arrested to be killed. Just an example.
Each of us will stand before God…so it’s best to focus on your faults instead of Frank’s.
@sfumato1002 yes we are, that still does NOT change the fact that this man should not be looked up to because he was a great thief.. what he did was wrong.
@luridhue , we are all sinners…let the man without sin throw the first rock.
woah. he doesn’t look like he have the confidence or “umph” that Leo portrayed in the movie. I mean, he doesn’t look like he can sweet talk any woman or any old mature man can fall for any of his thoughts, his lisps…:|||
anyway just finished watching the movie and it was awesome, even though a lot was changed for the dramatic connection to the viewers.
the man is my hero.
@binaway it is, period. “thou shall not steal.” no exceptions.
@luridhue I worked with a Sri Lankan who was employed by a big US oil company working in Iran during the revolution. The company evacuated the Western employees but abandoned the Asians. With a small group of friends they stole a VW van and drove out the country across India and sold the van to buy ferry tickets to reach Sri Lanka. It was that or die. Stealing is not always a sin, period.
@maniijeh lucky is not the word for frank, how many people can be put away for 12 years and then be released early by the FBi themselves and now in his senior years he is a multi millionaire because of his security fraud business? He is the epitamy of lucky
It was kind of dumb how they recreated this in the film Catch Me If You Can and never referred back to it.
Christ… I’m reading his book as I post this… I’m reading right now about how he got a license from pan am… So far it’s FREAKING AMAZING… And I also saw the movie… It’s so different. But that’s okay cause Leonardo dicaprio is in it and Leo makes everything better. =]
everyone download this video so you can repost it if it gets deleted or whatever
No votes? Wow…. he must be a good imposter.
I read his book. It was a judge in Sweden who saved him. He broke Swedish law and sent Frank back to America instead of sending him to life in prison in Europe, after Sweden he was going to France and other countries’ prisons.
I love how they all get screwed in the show! They suck!
Why was he in this show??
loved the movie…. and yeah that teacher part was best in the movie… loved it…
Shitman.
what i thought was funny, was when in the film he prented to be a teacher lol
