Which actor played the role of Frank Rossitano on 30 Rock?

Judah Friedlander played Frank Rossitano on 30 Rock. Frank is one of the writers working on the fictional NBC sketch show TGS with Tracy Jordan, where he is known for his knit caps, casual clothes, and frequently bizarre personal stories.

Frank is portrayed as a talented but immature comedy writer whose interests include junk food, elaborate hats, and offbeat schemes. His character is part of the ensemble of writers alongside Liz Lemon, Jack Donaghy, Pete Hornberger, and Toofer. Friedlander’s deliberately eccentric appearance and deadpan delivery helped make Frank recognizable even when he was not central to an episode’s plot.

The role is sometimes confused with Friedlander’s other comedy and film work, especially Toby Radloff in American Splendor. Frank Rossitano is a fictional television character, while Judah Friedlander is also a stand-up comedian known for wearing hats labeled “World Champion.” The character’s surname is Rossitano, not Rossano or Rossetti, and he is a writer rather than one of TGS’s performers.
