- Christian Frates is the only child of William Frates Jr. and Nancy Newcomb who was born at Quincy Medical Center. He has been diagnosed with a mild form of Autism at the age of two. During his childhood, he loved doing voices of characters from VHS tapes and instantly remembered where and when he went to the movie theater.
At the age of 13, Frates was able to make dozens of videos on YouTube with his editing and voice skills. His work over the years made him realize a passion on films, literature, voice acting and writing.
He graduated from Carver High School in 2016 with high grades on mathematics and literature.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Christian Frates

- Ever since I was very young, I was able to do voice replication of pretty much everybody including people who have very distinct voices.
- Since I am writing books and screenplays, I am going to write a screenplay for a live-action near shot-for-shot remake of DreamWorks' The Prince of Egypt ala Gus Van Sant's 1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. I find it the most underrated animated film of all time and it completely deserves a live-action remake because all of the characters are human and was based on an iconic part of the Christian (no pun intended) Bible: the Book of Exodus. I plan to make the remake R-rated because the original doesn't seem kid-friendly to begin with thanks to the harsh depiction of the plagues, slavery and angst. For those who haven't seen it, think of it as Ang Lee's Hulk meets The Bible meets Frozen. Since whitewashing is very controversial, I want the Hebrews portrayed by people of Jewish ancestry and the Egyptians portrayed by British-Africans. Changes include the additions of characters that serve as key figures in the Book of Exodus such as Joshua and Moses' children. Just because I am making the script R-rated does not mean you will be hearing strong profanities or graphic violence. I am doing the R-rated remake script because it allows better character development. Since Universal made a misstep with Exodus: Gods And Kings, I believe my remake screenplay will restore its trust.
- I like subverting what people think about certain trends and that is true with my favorite art film directors and screenwriters. The problem with tons of comic book films made in a post-Marvel Cinematic Universe world is that they require you to watch all the films, just like how they want you to read all of the books.
- Dozens of neurotypicals think that autism is just a disease that is contagious like the influenza virus but it is just a difference. A film I have appreciated which is X-Men: The Last Stand had a similar story-line where the humans have prepared a cure for mutation and the mutants such as the X-Men that live with it. Curing autism is actually the idea of wiping out people with autism. I think of curing autism as a neurological genocide that people should understand with the right amount of research. Autism should not be cured because I have many successes in life as with many people on the spectrum.
- People who live on the spectrum have a brilliant gift for picking up details that certain neurotypicals refuse to do so. While certain neurotypicals can pick up on who voiced who on animation rather than animated films featuring the voice talents of Selena Gomez or Cameron Diaz, people with high-functioning autism can pick out characters voiced by real voice actors including Frank Welker, Lorne Lanning, Grey DeLisle, Tony Jay, Phil LaMarr, Tara Strong and Clay Martin Croker. If someone couldn't tell that Samurai Jack had the same voice actor as Hector Con Carne from Evil Con Carne, it might be interesting. Picking up details is one of the many benefits of living with autism and I am proud of having such a benefit.
