Frank Mazzola (March 7, 1935 – January 13, 2015) was an American actor and film editor.
[3] In 1955, he acted in Rebel Without a Cause (among other films) with James Dean, Sal Mineo, Natalie Wood, and Dennis Hopper.
[4] He played "Crunch," a minor character, and was one of the last surviving cast members from that film.
In 1966, Mazzola started editing films; he edited Performance (1970 - uncredited), The Hired Hand (1971), Demon Seed (1977), The Secret Diary of Sigmund Freud (1984), and Wild Side (1995), among others.
Mazzola pioneered the non-linear editing style in Performance[5] and other Cammell films,[6] as well as the lyrical style that is found in The Hired Hand;[3] he also edited the well-received "director's cut" of Wild Side that was released four years after Cammell's 1996 death.
