Frank Morelli: Hello. My name is Frank Morelli. People always ask if Frank is short for Francis or Franklin or even Francois, but it just reads F-R-A-N-K on my birth certificate, like the synonym for a hot dog. Morelli is a name that comes from Sicily. My grandfather used to say that on a map, it's the place that looks like a misshapen soccer ball getting kicked by the mainland of Italy, which is coincidentally shaped like a boot. To remember my name, pretend that you're hungry and ask for more deli, but leave out the D. Morelli.
