""There'd be no Chad Powers without Danny," Rodriguez tells The Advocate. "Danny is pretty much the mastermind behind everything.""
""It hasn't been mentioned yet on the show," he says. "It's kind of nice that it's not the central focus at all. The show is very much about football, very much about Chad/Russ and all of these characters that are there to support that story. But you could assume, right?""
""I think for Disney to take a chance like this, it's very exciting," Rodriguez told in 2019."
Glen Powell plays Russ Holliday, a former quarterback who adopts the persona Chad Powers to walk on to a struggling college football team and attempt a comeback. The series was created by Powell and Michael Waldron and drew inspiration from a viral Eli Manning prank. Frankie A. Rodriguez portrays Danny, the South Georgia Catfish mascot and co-conspirator, described as the mastermind behind the plan. Rodriguez, who is gay, appreciates that Danny's sexuality is part of character identity without dominating the storyline. Rodriguez previously played Carlos on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and held a small recurring ABC role.
