Charles R. Frank (born April 17, 1947) is an American actor noted for playing Bret Maverick's cousin Ben Maverick in the 1978 TV-movie The New Maverick with James Garner and Jack Kelly, and in a 1979 television series Young Maverick, which was cancelled quickly. Frank also played astronaut Scott Carpenter in the movie version of Tom Wolfe's novel The Right Stuff (1983).
From 1970 to 1974 (and again in 1988 and 1995), he gained his greatest fame playing Dr. Jeff Martin on the ABC soap opera All My Children. It was on the set that he met his wife Susan Blanchard, who played his character's wife, Mary Kennicott Martin. In 2006, it was announced that the character would be taken over by John James.
