Appearance [ ]

Frank is instantly recognizable by his short and stout stature; he stands more than a full head shorter than Charlie, the previously shortest member of the Gang. Dee has mentioned that he is four'x'', black hair, and has brown eyes. _{("Dennis and Dee Get a New Dad")} He was once compared to Humpty Dumpty when wearing skinny jeans, and has been described ofttimes as fatty and ugly past several people.

He is bald on the top of his head, only prefers to grow out what is left on the sides. It started going grey erstwhile prior to "Frank Retires", but he applies hair dye during his morning routine to continue it blackness. _{("Being Frank")}

In his commencement appearance, he has neat, combed hair, small spectacles, and wears dressy shirts or V-neck sweaters and smart shoes, with an occasional arrange jacket. _{("Charlie Gets Crippled")} However, once he renounces his classy lifestyle for that of depravity and hedonism, he begins wearing huge glasses that dramatically magnify his eyes, likewise equally bowling shirts that he doesn't carp to button fully, or brusk sleeve Henley t-shirts; both types of shirts are seen in solid colors like red, black, green, bluish, or grey.

Along with these come two pairs of drawstring Cabana pants in black and dark-brown, and either black work shoes or Crocs in blackness or orange.

He occasionally wears over-sized sweatshirts in black, grey, or bluish.

("The Gang Hits the Slopes")

Personality [ ]

Frank is a successful businessman and has a long history of illegal operations and diabolical schemes. (List of crimes committed by the gang)

Frank lives on what he calls the "Fringe class". He lives a dirty bachelor life with no restraints, and once tried to be as depraved equally possible ("The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention")

Frank styles himself a principal manipulator and often takes the pb in the group's schemes. It'south quickly obvious that he ofttimes makes horrible decisions and is not as sharp and current equally he should be.

Frank has known many sordid characters throughout his life and around town, including a ring of Asian gamblers ("The Gang Gives Back"), ("Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Donkey")​​​ and various criminals and gangsters.

He claims to have his children'due south best interests at heart simply frequently exploits and insults them. He is peculiarly cruel to Dee, constantly remarking negatively on her historic period and looks.

• He has pimped out his son Dennis for "no-rules" sexual favors. ("The Gang Gets Whacked (Part 1)")
• Frank waterboarded Dee in Paddy's men'southward room to proceeds a confession. ("The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis")
• He convinced Dee to pretend to exist engaged to him and well-nigh took part in sexual activity with her. ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead")​​​
• He also trained his daughter Sweet Dee to be a boxer so she could fight the daughter of his longtime nemesis. ("Hundred Dollar Baby")

Over the form of the show he has ceased to be a father figure to Dennis and Dee and is instead just office of the gang although he all the same refers to them as his kids.

Frank wants to stay young. ("The Gang Reignites the Rivalry")

Frank seems to take Mac nether his wing, "mentoring" him on how to succeed in life via shady, unethical and sometimes illegal methods. It is observed that Mac looks upwardly to Frank, more and then than the rest of The Gang, though Charlie takes extreme measures to ensure that Frank remains his roommate. Frank appears to have taken an active dislike to Mac equally the serial has continued, noting Mac "creeps him out" in "Being Frank," though he did salvage Mac's life (admitting through shouting a homophobic slur) in "Hero or Hate Law-breaking?" Frank admits to Mac that he "doesn't get" Mac's conflict over his homosexuality in "Mac Finds His Pride," only helps him put on a dance production so Mac can come out to Luther and is moved to tears by Mac'due south functioning, whispering to himself, "I get information technology."

Frank has a tendency to trip on LSD, where he has manifested traumatising experiences being trapped in the bathrooms of recreational vehicles. Like Mac, he drinks booze, just not to the excess that his young associates do, except in the episodes "The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention" and "The Gang Beats Boggs". Frank normally never drinks to the same excess as the gang do probably considering Frank knows that he could not keep up if he tried. Frank demonstrates his inferior chapters for booze during The Gang Beats Boggs, he was slurring his words and nearly passing out after 21 beers.

Though he clearly teaches life lessons and even offers valuable insights to The Gang, Frank's worldview is oftentimes very skewed. In the episode "Mac and Dennis: Manhunters", Dennis remarks that some of the stories Frank tells of his life come directly from John Rambo'southward life. In the episode "The Gang Gets Held Hostage", Frank emulates John McClane from the Dice Hard picture serial. In the episode "Mac Is A Serial Killer", Dennis says Frank "makes less sense every day."

Frank appears to exist very wealthy; the extent of his worth is unknown, but he's been shown to buy a Lamborghini on a whim, had owned a mansion for years, and one time wrote a bank check worth $8 million for his children. However, he prefers to alive in squalor as Charlie's roommate in an flat referred to by anyone who dares footstep into it as "a shit-hole," which originally stemmed from his desire to hide avails from his then-recently separated wife. Though Barbara's will gave all his money to Bruce Mathis ("Dennis and Dee'southward Mom is Dead") , this patently merely practical to avails he did not hibernate from her, as he has funded a number of schemes and deals that would cost thousands if not millions of dollars. He loses his money to a Ponzi scheme in "The Nifty Recession" merely is reimbursed by the government; the episode makes it articulate that Paddy's only stays afloat through his constant bailouts, and implies that he pays the rent on Dee'due south apartment.

Frequently, the Gang'southward schemes and impulsive whims are funded through Frank's credit card, something Dennis blames for their getting "weirder" every year ("The Gang Misses the Boat"). Frank's enjoyment of squalor and the Gang's schemes means that he oftentimes refuses to apply his coin for actual conveniences, such equally donating thousands of dollars to an animals rights organization so he tin can roast them at a clemency dinner in Atlantic City, simply taking an overly-long, rural route to the dinner to avoid toll roads ("The Gang Gets Stranded in the Wood") or refusing to pay rent to his and Charlie's landlord, Hwang, due to Hwang non fixing utilities, even though he could easily afford a ameliorate place. The Gang, for their function, ofttimes tries to scam money from Frank to fulfill their own needs, starting with "Dennis and Dee Become on Welfare" and sometimes attempt to go effectually him to avoid his conditional requirements for funding, such as his demands for a "total penetration" love scene in "The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon half-dozen." Frank, for his part, has picayune regard for animate being comforts beyond alcohol, drugs, meat and "bangin' hoors," and has repeatedly expressed a desire to simply be "thrown in the trash" once he has expired.

Though Frank is egotistical, diabolical, and maniacal, he appears to have some good in him; he seems to care greatly for Charlie, possibly even more so than he does for Dennis and Dee. In "Mac and Charlie Dice," he becomes grief-stricken when Charlie fakes his ain death; he carries effectually a plastic likeness of Charlie through the streets while wailing and keening his dearest for him.

Frank is a astringent compulsive gambler, seen betting on everything from grade schoolhouse basketball to Russian roulette, usually with his concatenation smoking, and high-stakes betting ring of Vietnamese friends. Sweetness Dee once told Frank, "You can't only come in here and start running our lives like this, information technology's not fair!" to which Frank replied "Wanna bet?" Dee, confused, asks "Bet on what? Whether or not it'southward fair?" to which Frank replies "Yeah. Bet on any." This is a prime number case of his boundless addiction to gambling, no affair how ridiculous the circumstances. "What's the action?" is Frank's signature line.

Frank is known to oftentimes carry a revolver and wave information technology around at inopportune times. He also has a "Toe Pocketknife".

Frank has a brother named Gino who appears in Frank's Brother. Both were involved with the same woman.

Frank has been referred to in the business organization world as the alias "The Warthog".
