“So cool! I can’t wait to see it,” one person wrote. “Can’t wait to see what bike you’ll be riding! Who would’ve thought that a little show would lead to such big things!! Congrats! I’m sure Frank is looking down and getting a kick out of it,” another comment read. “Can’t wait to see your part, awesome,” a third fan added.

Wolfe has done some other smaller projects over the course of his career, including a 2018 appearance in one episode of NCIS. He’s also served as a writer and a producer on a handful of smaller projects.
