“Six seasons ago they didn’t even have the role of ‘Frank.’ They then asked me if I would join the show as the father of Dennis and Sweet Dee. I said I would only do it if the role felt organic to the show and if it was a character that I’d feel like I could really let my hair down, no pun intended, and allow myself to explore other avenues that were as raunchy or as ribald as I’ve done in the past, but with an FX kind of sensibility. I think they delivered on every front.”
