Biography

Frank(ert) Kahlil Wheaton was born September 27, 1951 in Los Angeles, California,[1] but raised in nearby Compton. He is the son of James Wheaton.[1]

After graduating from Centennial High School in Compton, he attended Willamette University in Salem, Oregon before transferring to Cal State Northridge,[1] where he received a degree in broadcasting. Upon graduation, Frank began working at KPFK and other radio stations in the Los Angeles area. Eventually, he relocated to the East Coast, where he added acting and modeling to his resume. On September 23, 1975 he married vocalist Jean Carn[1] in Washington, DC. They later divorced. He received a JD degree from the University of West Los Angeles in 1982,[2] and was admitted to the Indiana State Bar in 1987.[3]

Wheaton founded The Management Group Sports/Entertainment Representatives in 1984. There he began acting as an agent to actors and sports figures, specializing in securing product endorsements and producing special events such as the Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Tournament for the United Negro College Fund[4] and working with Milton Berle on the Ruth Berle Celebrity Golf Tournament for the benefit of the American Cancer Society.[1] For several years, Wheaton served on the board of the Black Entertainment and Sports Lawyers Association (BESLA).[5]

Wheaton has also served as a producer of sports-related programming. He was an executive producer of an hour-long special entitled, "Sports Greats:One on One with David Hartman" which aired on ESPN.[6]

In 2001, he made an unsuccessful bid to unseat incumbent Compton, California City Councilmember Yvonne Arceneaux.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}}
