FAMILY AND FRIEND BIO

Frank Potenza really is Jimmy Kimmel's Uncle Frank. He's more than qualified for his job as Security Guard on his nephew's show, having spent twenty years as a New York City police officer, ten years as a private security officer in Las Vegas (including a stint as Frank Sinatra's personal security guard at Caesars Palace) and another seven as an usher in Manhattan's world-famous St. Patrick's Cathedral. Though, in his two decades as a cop, Frank made only six arrests—including one where the culprit literally ran right into him while fleeing a robbery. Jimmy also likes to stump Frank by asking him to name more than two Sinatra songs.

Married to Jimmy's Aunt Chippy for 28 years, and now divorced, Frank likes cake and ice cream, walking, and spending time with his family including his three daughters. He considers himself "smart about some things but not others" and also boasts that he is "very spiritual."
