Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) is a fictional character on the US television sitcom Seinfeld (1989-1998). He is the father of George Costanza and is married to Estelle Costanza. He is characteristically loud, neurotic, and eccentric.
Though currently retired, we learn in "The Understudy" that he once worked as a salesman, selling religious artifacts.
Frank is an exceptionally good cook (he spent time as an army cook in Korea), as long as he can overcome his fears of accidentally poisoning people with his cooking. Hobbies include listening to Latin music on vinyl records and collecting TV Guide. He invented an alternative-holiday known as Festivus and was co-creator of the "Bro" (also known as the "mansierre") with Cosmo Kramer.
Frank is fluent in Korean and once met the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
