Frank DeTorre is the overarching protagonist of the 2001 live-action/animated Osmosis Jones. He is the father of Shane DeTorre and works as a groundskeeper at the Sucat Memorial Zoo in Rhode Island.
He is portrayed by Bill Murray who also played Martin Heiss in the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot.
What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]
- He is a lethargic and disgusting slob with incredibly poor hygiene and has no regard for his own health.
- His decision to eat a contaminated oyster at a science fair is what caused him to throw up on Shane's teacher Mrs. Boyd and get him fired from his job at the pea soup factory, landing him a job at the zoo which is an even more lowly occupation.
- He continues his bad habits when he retrieves a hard-boiled egg that had just been in a chimp's mouth and fell into the hay-covered ground, and even uses the ten second rule to justify the unsanitary act. Shane was disgusted when he ate it.
- When someone points out that he has a runny nose, he distracts that other person by pointing in the other direction then sniffing while the other person has his back turned.
- He is dismissive of his daughter Shane's embarrassment towards his lifestyle and shrugs off her suggestions of eating healthy.
- He gorges on greasy foods like fried chicken and sticks his tongue out while he still has food in his mouth.
- He is apathetic toward the death of his wife and gives a lame answer as to why she died, simply guessing that it was germs, when Shane knows that it's the way he eats that makes him sick.
- Although it is made clear that Mayor Phlegmming is the one running Frank's body and is thus meant to be hated, Frank's outward appearance as a human being in a live action setting still makes him a socially unacceptable individual that nobody wants to be friends with. That said, it's not hard to sympathize with Mrs. Boyd for slapping Frank with a restraining order, considering she and her family were mercilessly teased for a long time after the oyster incident, with her daughter Shirley having to transfer schools because the nickname "Hurley" spread at her previous school just like the viruses in Frank's body. All that endless humiliation is clearly what made Mrs. Boyd the bitter and resentful woman she is.
- In the animated series, he abandons his commitment to eating right and reverts to his old self-destructive habits.
