For nearly his entire career, Frank Stallone has nearly always been known as one thing: Rocky’s brother.
However, a brand new documentary seeks to uncover why one of the “least known famous faces in Hollywood” – with his multi talented range in music, acting, and boxing – never seemed to climb to the top of the mountain peak in reaching ultimate Hollywood stardom. From his breakout song Take You Back in Rocky, Golden Globe- and Grammy-nominated song Far From Over in Staying Alive, famous boxing match with Geraldo Rivera, and expansive acting portfolio including Tombstone and cult hit Barfly, “Stallone: Frank That Is” goes behind the scenes of Hollywood’s elite told by Frank and those who knew him best including brother Sylvester Stallone, mother Jackie Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Talia Shire, Joe Mantegna, Burt Young, Billy Zane, Danny Aiello, and many more.
In this interview, Frank chats with Max about how the idea for this documentary came to be, why he never reached ultimate Hollywood success, and rails against his Oscar snub for the song Far From Over while connecting it to his own brother’s surprise loss for best supporting actor in Creed in 2016.
