Daniel "Dan" Frischman (born April 23, 1959) is an American actor, comedian, writer, director and magician.
He was born in Whippany, New Jersey.
He is best known for his roles as Chris Potter on the Nickelodeon sitcom Kenan & Kel, and Arvid Engen on the ABC sitcom Head of the Class.
He is noted for playing socially inept "geeks" and "nerds".

Frischman's birthdate is often listed as 1964, because early in his career his acting agent encouraged him to falsify his age to make himself more eligible for teenaged acting roles.
Early life
Frischman was raised in the Whippany section of Hanover Township, New Jersey. He attended Whippany Park High School, graduating in 1977, before attending Penn State University.
Early appearance
He was first noticed in a March 17, 1982, episode of the NBC television series The Facts of Life. In the episode, titled "Kids Can Be Cruel" Frischman played high school student "Carl 'Rocky' Price" who was picked on by his peers because of his acne and nerd-like personality. The students in the episode referred to Frischman's character as "Pizzaface", because of his pronounced acne blemishes and scars. In the episode the character Natalie Green, played by actress Mindy Cohn, gets angry at her roommate Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel) and sets her up with Frischman's character "Rocky" as a cruel joke.
In 1983, Frischman appeared in the comedy film Get Crazy as Joey, a typically nerdy (and virginal) stagehand who ultimately gets the girl. Also in 1983, he starred in the "Things your Parents Used to Say" sequence in Good-bye, Cruel World.
Frischman appeared in both these projects alongside his sometime roommate, comedian Andrew J. Lederer, who played smaller roles. Frischman and Lederer also appeared together as two of the "Schlongini Singers" in the Andrew "Dice" Clay horror comedy, Wacko and (with Adam Small and Felice Seiler) in the comedy group, The Ding Dongs.
Personal life
Frischman announced on his Facebook page in 2019 that he had recently discovered he had a biological daughter Emily, now in her mid-30s, and a grandson Roy. Frischman briefly dated Emily's mother when he was 22 years old. He lost contact with her, unaware that she was pregnant and that she later put her baby up for adoption. Frischman learned of his daughter's existence in January 2019 through the DNA testing web site 23andMe. He soon met her along with her husband Neil and their son Roy, describing them as "a beautiful new family that I’m building a relationship with."
