“He still reaches out to me every couple of weeks [to] check in on me,” he said, via THR. “He really cares about what I’m doing, comes to the races, if my band was playing, came to shows. I mean, he’s such an inspiration, and like I said, that’s what I strive to be that for someone else in the future.”

“He really became like a father figure to me,” Frankie continued. “And then even still to this day, you know, he’s essentially like a Hollywood god at this point. You know what I mean? Like he’s done incredible films, incredible shows, won tons of awards. Like he’s literally It.”

If you didn’t know, Frankie has left Hollywood behind and now has a career in NASCAR. The former actor signed a contract back in October with Reaume Brothers Racing to race full time in 2025 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
