Frank was not just an actor but also a director for WKRP as well as other sitcoms like Family Ties and Who's the Boss?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:41pm

I worked at WDHA/WMTR late 80's-early 90's. There were several sales types from that place that I saw in his Herb Tarlek character.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42pm
Funky16Corners:

I worked at a newspaper for 24 years and they showed up in ad sales there, too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:44pm

@Erica - I didn't know that!
