Antonino Giovanni Ribisi (born December 17, 1974 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor who -- despite only appearing in nine episodes and having a bucket-load of other credits -- is still probably best remembered for his role as Phoebe's half-brother Frank on ''Series/{{Friends}}''. But as already said he's got a very impressive list of credits and appearances in addition to his ''Friends'' cred - including ''{{Film/Avatar}}'', ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', ''Film/LostInTranslation'', ''Film/ColdMountain'', ''Film/SkyCaptainAndTheWorldOfTomorrow'' and many more.

* ActorInspiredElement: The famous [[spoiler: funny dance]] in ''{{Film/Ted}}'' was his idea.
* DawsonCasting:
** Frank Jr is eighteen when he first appears on ''{{Series/Friends}}''. Giovanni was twenty-two.
** In ''Film/PublicEnemies'' Giovanni is thirty-four playing a twenty-seven-year-old.
* EnforcedMethodActing:
** He and the rest of the actors playing the soldiers in ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'' were put through a strenuous boot camp, that Matt Damon was excluded from. This drummed up feelings of resentment between him and the unit.
** He didn't take a bath for a week while filming ''Basic'' to properly get into character.
* FakeNationality: As an Italian in ''Heaven'', though he does have Italian ancestry.
* ProductionPosse:
** He's worked with Creator/SethMacFarlane on the two ''{{Film/Ted}}'' films and ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest''. He also lent his voice to an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
** He collaborated with Tom Hanks on ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'' and ''Film/ThatThingYouDo''.

* YouLookFamiliar: He first appeared on ''{{Series/Friends}}'' as a boy who accidentally dropped a condom in Phoebe's bag. {{Fanon}} says this was Frank Jr anyway (despite him saying he'd never been to New York when he visits).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Giovanni was reluctant to appear nude in ''Film/SubUrbia'', but Richard Linklater convinced him that it was "in his Moya character" and he agreed.
** He replaced Creator/CaseyAffleck as Dex on ''Film/SkyCaptainAndTheWorldOfTomorrow''.
