She also filmed roles in the features Hack!, The Audition, Angst, Ed Gein: the Butcher of Plainfield, and Donna on Demand. Additionally, she did voice work on the animated series Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys, and taped a guest-starring role on That 70s Show.
An accomplished vocal performer and songwriter, Frantz's latest album, Anomaly, was released on April 3, 2007.
Animal welfare issues have always been close to her heart, and she has worked with PETA, Save the Horses, the Humane Society's Genesis Awards, Actors & Others for Animals, Tippi Hedren's Shambala Preserve, and the Rescue Cat Association. She is also a supporter of the Pancreatic Cancer Society, Diabetes Society, and several organizations that help abused women and children.
