Another of Friedrich's most recognizable roles was as Frank Cleary, the oldest of the Cleary brothers, in the 1983 mini-series,The Thorn Birds; based on the novel byColleen McCullough. In both The Thorn Birds, and Friedrich's final film release, The Final Terror, he worked with the British actressRachel Ward. After working in The Thorn Birds, Friedrich ended his film career. The Final Terror, which was filmed in 1980 under the titleThree Blind Mice, was released (after Friedrich's retirement) due to the popularity of its female leads: Rachel Ward andDaryl Hannah.
