Frank Stallone, Jr. (born July 30, 1950) is an American actor and singer, the brother of Sylvester Stallone. He has appeared in many Hollywood films and television series.

Stallone was born in New York City, New York, the son of Jacqueline "Jackie" (née Labofish), an astrologer, former dancer, and promoter of women's wrestling, and Frank Stallone, Sr., a hairdresser. Stallone's father was an immigrant from Gioia del Colle (province of Bari, Apulia, Italy).

Stallone has worked as a singer in the tradition of American big band jazz and popular music, in a vocal style reminiscent of his idol Frank Sinatra. He tours with his own orchestra under conductor Paul Vesco, and has also worked with conductors Sammy Nestico and Billy May. Stallone has released a number of albums, including Day In Day Out with Sammy Nestico (1991; A1 Records: FSTCD1) and "Close Your Eyes" with Billy May (1996; Coolnote).

Stallone wrote and performed "Far From Over" for the 1983 film Staying Alive. A self-titled album soon followed from RSO, in the style of 1980s pop.

Stallone is also an amateur boxer and appeared as a boxing consultant on the NBC reality television series The Contender in 2005. Frank Stallone has appeared on the Howard Stern Radio and TV show on several occasions. During one appearance on the Howard Stern Show, Frank Stallone had a boxing match with TV reporter Geraldo Rivera; Frank Stallone won the bout. Stallone was also used as a punchline by Norm Macdonald on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, often inserting Stallone's name into the end of news stories in a ridiculing manner. One example would be rhetorically asking the audience who was responsible for some sort of adverse event or circumstance, "..you guessed it: Frank Stallone." Another example, "The most popular toy of 1996: 'Tickle Me Elmo'. And the least popular toy of 1996, you guessed it: 'Tickle Me Frank Stallone'."

Having been KO'd by both critics and audiences as an actor, Frank Stallone, a "Rocky"-like survivor of his own, has rolled with the punches over the years. As a singer, composer, guitarist and musician, however, he has received more encouraging and courteous reviews. His interest in music stems from childhood. Born July 30, 1950, in New York City, and an amateur boxer in his salad days, Frank's big break coincided with that of his lookalike older brother, writer/actor Sylvester Stallone, who became a superstar with the Cinderfella-like success of his legendary boxing film Rocky (1976). Frank appeared briefly and wrote and performed the song "Take You Back" a capella on a street corner. Frank continued to benefit from brother Sly's monumental success with additional singing appearances in Paradise Alley (1978) and Rocky II (1979). This culminated with the Sly-directed film Staying Alive (1983), the sequel to Saturday Night Fever (1977) starring John Travolta as (again) Tony Manero. Frank wrote (along with The Bee Gees) many of the songs from its soundtrack and was nominated for both Grammy and Golden Globe awards for one of them, entitled "Life Goes On." Frank decided to branch out and boldly moved into the acting ring in the mid-'80s, primarily in crime and action-oriented vehicles. Most of his representative films such as Pink Chiquitas, The (1987), _Outlaw Force (1987)_ and Lethal Games (1990) were harshly reviewed and quickly dismissed. Some of his better performances actually came in supporting roles, such as the brute-like bartender in Barfly (1987), which paired Mickey Rourke with Faye Dunaway as big-time boozers, and his role as Alvin Carpis in the gangster movie Public Enemies (1996). Spending a lifetime avoiding his brother's shadow, Frank refocused on his music, and is now traveling and touring with the sound of "big band" jazz. A noted boxing historian and collector, Frank more recently served as a boxing authority and consultant for his brother's short-lived TV reality show "Contender, The" (2005), appeared in a bit part in Rocky Balboa (2006) and has a co-starring role in the upcoming action film Taken by Force (2008).

Seldom has a performer been strongly considered for an Academy Award in both acting and music, yet Frank Stallone has managed to pull it off. His fiery portrayal of a brutish bartender Eddie in the film Barfly had Hollywood insiders abuzz at Oscar time, and his #1 hit Far From Over, from the film Staying Alive, was likewise touted for a 'Best Song' nomination. It's all in a day's work for Frank a gifted artist who is equally comfortable on screen or on the concert stage. This Grammy and Golden Globe nominated artist has been everything from a street singer, a rock singer, to a big band singer. Frank was also nominated for a Grammy for best soundtrack and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song from the film Staying Alive. Frank has written songs for 11 films, and still plays to SRO crowds in arenas and concert halls from Los Angeles to London. Frank was the first male singer of his generation to switch from pop music to the American Songbook, in the tradition of Sinatra, Darin and Bennett, leading the way for other singers such as Harry Connick, Jr., Rod Stewart, Brian Setzer and Michael Buble. Frank has been touted for his music by such legends as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and four-time Oscar-winner songwriter Sammy Cahn. Frank records and performs around the country, and has sung to millions of people over the years performing his own compositions, and keeping alive the classic works great American songwriters. At a young age, the Maryland-born, Philadelphia-raised native pursued his musical ambitions, forming a series of bands, and finally turning professional at the tender age of 15. Frank performed in clubs with such acts as Bonnie Raitt, Ten Years After, and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Frank's longest-lasting band, Valentine, included lead guitarist John Oates, of Hall & Oates. As a young man, he left home, and hit the road to seek his musical quest. He worked as a street musician in NYC singing in the Greenwich Village coffee house scene, sometimes making five dollars a night or nothing at all. Frank's group, Valentine, was signed to RCA Records in 1975, and recorded their first debut album. Frank made his on-screen singing debut, performing the self-penned song, sung acapella, 'Take You Back', in the opening scene of the film Rocky. The only reason he got the part was that he was the only musician his brother, Sylvester, knew. A dream came true for Frank when he teamed up with his lifelong idol, two time Grammy winner Harry Nilsson, on a remake of Joni Mitchell's classic, A Case Of You. The two remained close friends until Nilsson's untimely death in 1994. To add to Frank's musical diversity, he has written and published over 200 songs. He has recorded a number of American Songbook albums titled In Love In Vain, Frankie And Billy, and Soft And Low, with legendary arrangers Sammy Nestico and Billy May. He also recorded albums of his own music, such as Frank Stallone, Full Circle and Songs From The Saddle. Frank has also written and recorded compositions for seven films, including Rocky I, II and III, Rambo II, Paradise Alley and Over The Top. Frank also wrote and recorded 11 songs for the soundtrack and film Staying Alive, which gained the respect from his industry peers and critics alike when he received a Golden Globe nomination for 'Best Soundtrack' and Grammy nomination for Best Original Song, with his single, Far From Over. Frank will be releasing Stallone On Stallone By Request, a greatest hits collection of all the songs Frank has written for his brother Sylvester's films. On the film front, since that auspicious debut in Rocky, Frank has appeared in over 50 movies, including Barfly, Tombstone, Hudson Hawk, Staying Alive, and many others. One of his most memorable on-screen appearances was his role as Ed Bailey, a dangerous gunslinger in Tombstone, and as Eddie the bartender in Barfly, which gave rise to serious consideration for Frank for an Academy Award nomination, and won the acclaim of renowned film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times. On stage Frank is a natural performer. His singing, guitar playing and broad experience of playing in concert halls all over the world has given him an edge as a performer. That same kind of upbeat anticipation colors every creative endeavor he undertakes. Frank's lifelong musical journey continues, and his enthusiasm for entertaining remains unshaken.
