Wisconsin's Frank 'The Tank' Kaminsky Meets Namesake Will Ferrell In Hollywood

Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky has a rather unusual namesake: Frank The Tank, a character played by Will Ferrell in the movie Old School. Yes, it's somewhat strange to see a university embrace a student-athlete's nickname inspired by a beer-chugging, frat-frenzied late-night streaker, but Ferrell's character has become the stuff of legend, not unlike Kaminsky himself.

How perfect, then, that the University of Wisconsin and Access Hollywood were able to wrangle a meeting between the two Franks. Ferrell, who was receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, gave his time to meet Kaminsky and give an interview for the TV program:

Perhaps the most impressive thing about this meeting is how tiny the 6-foot-3 Ferrell looks when propped up next to a college basketball star.

Ferrell was also joined by friend John C. Reilly, who has starred with Ferrell in several movies, including "Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby" and "Step Brothers."

It's pretty clear from his Instagram and relentless dropping of Ferrell quotes that Kaminsky is a big fan.

Kaminsky now turns his attention back to basketball, where his Badgers will play this weekend with trips to the Elite Eight and Final Four on the line.
