Personal
Frey was born in Tijuana, Mexico.[1] His father was Swiss-American and his mother was a naturalized US citizen of Mexican descent. His family moved to San Diego, California, where he attended parochial schools, and later studied film and graduated from the University of San Diego. Early in his life, Frey sought to hide his Mexican heritage. "I wanted to pass as American, I didn’t want to accept that I was part Mexican," Frey said. "It was really easy to leave my culture behind."[1] Frey's mother was once picked up by US Border Patrol agents and deported because she was unable to convince them of her legal status.[2]
Acting Career
Before becoming a documentary filmmaker and journalist, Frey was also an actor for several years. His acting career includes appearances in shows such as The Practice, Days of Our Lives, Married... with Children, JAG, Weird Science, Party of Five, and the film Freaky Friday, among other credits.[3]
Documentaries
Frey's independently produced documentaries include Invisible Mexicans of Deer Canyon, The Invisible Chapel, The 800 Mile Wall, One Border One Body, and Life and Death on the Border.[4]
Frey was the main correspondent for the February 15, 2013, episode of PBS's "Need To Know" titled "Outlawed In Arizona", highlighting a years-long dispute over a Mexican-American studies program in Tucson, Arizona.[5]
