Who Are the Frobinson Kids IRL?

by Kristie Rohwedder

I may not know a lick of French, but that doesn't stop me from singing along with the French version of Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" every time I see that Sprint Framily ad. I watch an inordinate amount of television and that ad just so happens to play every other commercial break. So yes, I sing the song a lot. I may not know/understand the words, but that doesn't matter. I warble away. The power of the song trumps the language barrier. It's the music of my heart. (You bet that was an allusion to the 1999 Gloria Estefan/'N Sync hit ballad.) So who is the actor who sings the French version of the tune? The little lady who plays Heidi in all of the Framily ads is Tatyana Richaud.

Before the Framily campaign, Richaud played Paul Giamatti’s daughter in the 2013 dark comedy All Is Bright . Show biz runs in her family: Her father is actor Jean-Michael Richaud and her mother is film editor Yana Gorskaya.

While we're here, who plays Zack, Heidi's frother? (Or is he her frousin? I can't keep the Frobinson Framily Ftree straight.) A young actor named Karsten Friske.

Friske posts tons o' fun stuff on YouTube: He makes Lego movies, shares Minecraft gameplay videos, and his latest vid is just him talking about how excited he is about the Framily ad campaign. Adorabs!

Here's Heidi singing away:

And Zack chatting with a giant Kevin Durant:

Aw, those delightfully weird Frobinson kids!
