GEORGE FRANKS SOLICITOR SWINDLES & GENTRY

The adventures of John Storm and the Elizabeth Swann. John Storm is an ocean adventurer and conservationist. The Elizabeth Swann is a fast solar powered boat. During a race around the world, news of the sinking of a pirate whaling ship reaches John Storm and his mate Dan Hawk. They decide to abandon the race and try and save the whale.

George Franks is a solicitor and partner in the firm: Franks, Swindles & Gentry. George was a friend of Johnny Storm's deceased uncle: Professor Douglas Storm, and a friend of the family. He is to administer the estate, with some rather unusual clauses as to assisting John, if he takes up a challenge his uncle has set him.

Later in the series, George is called to help defend John, when he is accused of and then charged with looting the treasure of Captain Henry Morgan.

We need a character face for George Franks. He would be around 55-65 years old in this story, but younger or older would be okay if the face is right.
