The dossier
The feral financier of Paddy’s Pub
Frank Reynolds completely rejects the traditional arc of a television patriarch. Rather than guiding his children toward morality, he actively funds their most depraved, illegal, and destructive schemes, fully embracing the filth of their existence.
Danny DeVito’s performance revitalized the series. He is completely fearless, willing to subject himself to unimaginable physical and social degradation for the sake of a joke, bringing an unparalleled, chaotic energy to the Gang.
He is the ultimate agent of chaos. Frank proves that endless wealth, when combined with absolute moral bankruptcy, results in the most hilarious, terrifying human being in Philadelphia.
