Gerry Bamman as Uncle Frank
Uncle Frank brings his zip-lock bags to family dinners, just in case there’s a shrimp surplus at his brother Peter’s Ohio abode. You know, the kind of family retreat that happens just before jetting off to Paris. He’s the real patriarch of the McCallister mini-army consisting of Rod, Brooke, Tracy, Fuller, Sondra, and of course, Kevin.

His compass points directly to his offspring when it comes to familial loyalty. Forget Switzerland; there’s no neutrality here. Imagine the other cousins getting into scuffles and Uncle Frank’s there, slyly handing over the shrimp his sister-in-law had tucked away for a special dinner.
