Frank Kenneth Wilson (born 28 September, 1966 in Framingham, Massachusetts, United States) is a drummer who is best known for playing drums for Marilyn Manson. He has also played with several underground bands from Las Vegas and Florida. He also did brief stints playing with Paul Anka and Barry Manilow. He is best known by his stage name, Ginger Fish. His pseudonym originates from the combination of the names of Ginger Rogers, a dancer, and Albert Fish, a convicted murderer.
He joined Marilyn Manson in 1995, replacing Sara Lee Lucas. On the Mechanical Animals tour (1999), he broke his hand and collar bone while the band was destroying the stage at the end of a concert. However, he still played with one hand for the rest of the tour. He was temporarily replaced by Chris Vrenna for a whole year when in 2004 during the Comet Awards a head injury left him unable to tour; however, he remains a member of Marilyn Manson. His side project, Martyr Plot was born in January 2005, but is now history. The band split around November 2005. He is still a full-time member of Marilyn Manson after he appeared in the Tonight Show with the rest of the band. It is currently not known if he will be contributing to their next album.
