Kirk, Frank

Human. Son of Tiberius Kirk, brother of George Samuel Kirk, Sr., and uncle of James Tiberius Kirk and George Samuel Kirk, Jr.^{[1, 2, 3]}

ST11 Timeline

After the death of his brother, Frank took in his nephews George and Jim at his home in Riverside, Iowa, when his sister-in-law, Winona was off-planet due to her duties as a Starfleet officer.^{[1, 2, 3]} After his death aboard the U.S.S. Kelvin NCC-0514, George left his classic Chevrolet Corvette to his brother, Frank.^{[2, 3]}

Portrayed by Greg Grunberg (voice). In the deleted scenes available on the Star Trek (2009) DVD and Blu-Ray releases, Frank Kirk was portrayed by Brad William Henke.

Frank’s status as a member of the Kirk family is conjectural, but makes sense given that George Jr. calls him “Uncle Frank,” he lives in the same town where George Sr. was born and where Jim’s grandmother still resides in other EU-Timeline fiction, and George Sr. apparently left the Corvette to him.
