Dollhouse: Where Are They Now?
7. Fran Kranz
While not the creator of the imprinting tech, Topher Brink was fascinated by it and spent his five years in the Dollhouse refining it. Not only did he eventually get it down from two hours to five minutes, but it was Topher who came up with the remote wiping system that eventually brought about the end of humanity.
In Epitaph 1, we see that the suffering of so many due to the tech he helped bring to this level has led to Topher suffering a mental breakdown. Seemingly bouncing between time zones within his mind, he is entirely dependent on DeWitt, who cares for him in an almost motherly fashion.
One of Fran Kranz's next projects was a starring role in Joss Whedon's own next project, the horror film pastiche Cabin In The Woods. Following that, he had story arcs in shows such as Dallas, Bad Sports, and Major Crimes interspersed between bit parts and passion projects like JourneyQuest. He is currently writing, directing, and producing Mass, which will follow two couples in the aftermath of a mass shooting.
Fran's next acting role will be in an upcoming series based on the life of TV chef Julia Child.
