The Boys Frenchie Actor Says The Show Ruined Superhero Movies For Him
Tomer Capone, who portrays Frenchie on The Boys, says that the show has ruined superhero movies for him.

Based on the comic of the same name created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys is about a world full of superheroes who have become corrupt due to their power and celebrity status. However, a group of mercenaries has teamed up to attempt to rid the world of the «supes» before it's too late. The team known as «The Boys» is led by Karl Urban's Willaim Butcher and is rounded out by Jack Quaid's Hughie Campbell, Laz Alonso's Mother's Milk, Capone's Frenchie, and Karen Fukuhara's Kimiko. The group travels around dealing with superheroes in some of the most indecent, profane, and overall violent ways that has ever been seen on television and, as a result, is one of the most popular series available today.
