'''Frank Rossitano''' is a [[fictional character]] played by [[Judah Friedlander]] on the [[United States|American]] [[television program|television series]] ''[[30 Rock]]''. |
|||
==Personal history== |
|||
{{spoiler}} |
|||
Frank is a writer for the fictional show ''[[TGS with Tracy Jordan]]''. He is very clever and often quick-witted. Frank always wears a [[trucker hat]] with a humorous phrase on it (which is also Friedlander's real-life routine trademark). |
|||
He is the only member of the show's staff who is happy when actor [[Tracy Jordan]] is happy because he is the only one who enjoys Tracy's movies. |
|||
Frank also like to play pranks along with Toofer, mostly around [[Jenna Maroney]]. She exacted revenge locking him outside [[Jack Donaghy]]'s office balcony with no clothes on after he and Toofer told her that she might be fired. (This prank plot was mostly eliminated when the episode [[Jack-tor (30 Rock episode)|Jack-tor]] was edited down from 40 to 30 minutes in an encore presentation (rerun).) It was also revealed in the episode [[The Break Up (30 Rock episode)|The Break Up]] that he had a racist uncle after he watched Tracy and Toofer argue. He also lives with his mother and his rent money goes directly to her. |
|||
==Frank's trucker hats== |
|||
Friedlander says he makes his character's hats himself using phrases that he comes up with. [http://www.theapiary.org/archives/2007/02/inside_with_jud.html] This is a table describing the color and message on hats that Frank has worn on the series: |
