Wisconsin's Frank 'The Tank' Kaminsky meets 'Frank The Tank' -- Will Ferrell
It's one of the perks of being a college basketball Player of the Year candidate and landing a spot in the NCAA's West Region on the road to the Four Four.
On Tuesday, thanks to "Access Hollywood," 7-foot Wisconsin Badgers senior forward Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky got an opportunity to meet (and interview) his nickname-sake Will Ferrell, who played Frank "The Tank" Ricard in the brilliant 2003 comedy "Old School."

"This is by far the coolest thing I've done" Kaminsky said of the experience. Here's more pictures with the Twin Tanks plus actor John C. Reilly, who played Ferrell's man-child counterpart in "Step Brothers."
