Franklin Nathaniel "Frankie" Jonas (born September 28, 2000) is an American actor, who had a recurring role on the Disney Channel sitcom, Jonas L.A.. He is best known as the youngest of his older siblings – Kevin, Joe and Nick – who were in the pop rock group the Jonas Brothers. His film debut was in Ponyo, alongside Noah Cyrus.

Personal life

Frankie is the son of Denise and Paul Kevin Jonas Sr. and the younger brother of Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas. Jonas is sometimes referred to as the "Bonus Jonas" and ''Biff''.[2] He is of Italian (from a maternal great-grandfather), German, Cherokee, English, Irish, Scottish, and French-Canadian descent.[3][4][5]

Career

In 2009, Jonas lent his voice in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Ponyo, released in American theaters on August 14, 2009. He played Sōsuke, a character who is befriended by a juvenile fish named Ponyo (voiced by Noah Cyrus), who wants to become a human girl. They also both sing the theme song of the movie.

He appeared as a recurring character in the Disney Channel Original Series, Jonas L.A. for which he won the award for "Choice Breakout TV Star Male" at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. His first on-screen movie role was in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, alongside his older brothers The Jonas Brothers as Junior Rocker Trevor.

He also appeared in the E! reality show, Married to Jonas, following Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle in their married life, including the comeback of the Jonas Brothers in late 2013.[6][7]
