Frank Stallone a Surprise Hit in “Fred Claus”
Stallone, a Grammy and Golden Globe-Nominated Artist, was asked last year to appear in the film as himself.
Frank goes on to say, “I had all but given up on the film business after almost 60 films. I wasn’t getting any work and I couldn’t find an agent and no one seemed to show any interest, so I rededicated myself to my music full time.”
Stallone was nominated for Best Song for the Film “Staying Alive” and for best sound track for the same film.
Stallone was also highly considered for a Best Supporting Actor nomination by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences for his role as Eddie The Bartender in “Barfly.”
Frank continues, “I must say working on ‘Fred Claus’ was a delightful experience. I wish all film sets were as joyful.”
SZoner Paul Wintner is not only the owner of Wintner Talent Agency [check out his site], but also a fan of Sylvester Stallone movies.
Paul sent in a photo with Frank Stallone, as well as some pictures from Paul’s collection: glasses from Rocky Balboa, autographed gloves and a ring signed by Sly and all of his opponents from the Rocky movies!
Paul, thanks for sharing! – Craig
Frank is waiting for the sport of boxing to make a comeback. “Boxing used to be in the headlines. Now, you don’t see it… I watch all the fights, but I’m waiting for something to happen. The heavyweight division can’t get any worse. You have guys talking in the third person, with earrings, talking smack and calling people names. Talking big-mouth stuff.”
Frank hopes that events like the First State Fighter Series will help bring boxing back into a positive spotlight and attract more kids to take up the sport. For the full article, click HERE. – Craig
