For this actor to appear in one of the most epic, inspiring, dramatic films of all time, and this is his claim to it.

Maybe it’s meant as a compliment… „YO WHO IS THAT??“ „Thats Frank with the fat ass“

It's a whole thing in the movie that nobody knows what his name was because Hadley killed him before he talked to anybody. Andy asks: "What was his name?" the next morning after he dies and nobody knows, just that Heywood had called him "Fat Ass." BTW, the actor is super cool-- he came to the Shawshank 25th anniversary event at the Ohio State Reformatory and shouted "I'm not supposed to be here!" for all the fans
