The Frat Pack Tribute is an online movie publication and reference site. Our purpose is to support fans of the Frat Pack actors and to raise awareness of this most important cultural phenomenom. Our headquarters are in Fremont, California, and with correspondents in Los Angeles, New York, and around the globe. We produce news reports, original research, reviews, interviews, a weekly internet radio show/podcast, and more. We support several avenues for Frat Pack fan community-building, including MySpace, Live Journal, and our official Forum.
Founded by Kevin Crossman in 2004, the Frat Pack Tribute has been quoted in USA Today's follow-up to their seminal Frat Pack article, and was interviewed for an article about Owen Wilson for USA Today. We visited the set of Will Ferrell's Semi-Pro and Universal's Forgetting Sarah Marshall, have attended press-screenings and junkets, and screened DVDs prior to release. Our review was quoted in promotional flyers for Things to Do.
The Tribute's podcast has been mentioned in the Washington Post, the Times, a host of blogs and other online sources. In 2007, our weekly podcast was nominated for a People's Choice Podcast Award for Best Movies/Film Podcast.

When
I saw Zoolander I was a big fan of Ben Stiller but hadn't appreciated
Owen Wilson much at that point (I did recognize him from Meet the Parents).
All of that changed after seeing the movie. I also felt that Will Ferrell kind
of stole the movie and I loved Vince Vaughn's cameo. Old School came
out and was another happy accident, as the movie's release kind of snuck up
on me. But that movie truly that spoke to me, especially Vince's "soccer
dad."
After seeing Old School it struck me (as it did for others) that there were a lot of connections with these actors, and I wished they had somehow cast Ben Stiller as the uptight Dean Pritchard. I watched Old School and Zoolander over and over on video and couldn't wait for the next movie starring "that group of actors" who clearly needed a name.
Starsky & Hutch and Dodgeball came out in rapid succession and were both outstanding. Then, USA Today dubbed this group "The Frat Pack" and I knew that was "it." By the time Anchorman dropped, complete with the hilarious Frat Pack cameos, I knew I had to create a site to pay tribute to the pack of actors who had enriched so many of our lives.
