Frank Joseph Urioste is an American film editor with about 30 film credits. He has been nominated three times for the Academy Award for Film Editing, for RoboCop, Die Hard, and Basic Instinct. Urioste began his career driving trucks of film at MGM. His talent was soon recognized and he became an assistant editor on the film, The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and began working steadily on the film the Dirty Dozen, during which the director Robert Aldrich became his mentor. Other major influences in his life and career include his father, Frank T. Urioste, his uncle, William Saracino and Ralph Winters. Winters and Urioste worked together on the films Ben Hur and famously, The Battle of Midway. During the 70's and 80's, Urioste worked on films including The Boys in Company C, Fast Break, The Jazz Singer, The Entity and Conan the Destroyer. However it would be the cult film The Hitcher which would bring him much notice, especially from Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, whom he would work with on the films Basic Instinct, RoboCop and Total Recall.
