In the film's script, Frank, compared to George Samuel Kirk, was described as "angrier, redneckier." [1] In the deleted scene, Frank lives in a barn-style house in Iowa and has assumed care of the Kirk brothers while their mother, Winona Kirk, is away. Unbeknownst to Winona, however, Frank mistreated her sons. He was verbally abusive to George and he would put down James, referring to him as "no one." He also ordered James around, telling him to wash the late George Kirk's classic Chevrolet Corvette, which Frank treated as his own.
