What the hell is he thinking! This is like when Cher did the infomercial as a favor to a friend. It nearly killed her career. Talk about career suicide. Somebody needs to tar and feather his publicist, manager, everybody!

Maybe he has bills to pay?

In all honesty, while pinapple express was a fun movie~HE didn’t “make” the movie any more funny. His character could have been played by several actors out there. As for spiderman movies? Ya those movies are the worst superhero movies!!!!! Seriously.

I wouldn’t call this guy a MovieStar quite yet. Maybe a working actor though

Just b/c a person appears in a movie doesn’t make them a “star”.

How the mighty have fallen. Does anyone else get him confused with that stick of wood who played Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels?

*OMG stupid filter, was it the word ‘fallen’ this time ? *

General Hospital is a great soap with some fantastic actors. I have been a James Franco fan from way back. I even saw a play he wrote directed and starred in, in Los Angeles. It was in a small venue. This was after he started doing the Spiderman movies. He is apparently doing his own thing, which I applaud him for.

I don’t see what the big deal is. Maybe James really likes the soap or he just wanted to do something different. Just because it’s a soap doesn’t mean he can’t learn anything and stretch as an actor.

Probably watched it back when he was struggling and thought it would be fun. Which it probably will be.

The only time I have ever watched soap operas was when I was in the hospital for several weeks after spinal surgery – whichever one Deirdre Hall was on, back in the late 80s (Days of Our Lives?)

I never understood why people get into them.

What is so difficult to understand??? He did it because he is not stuck up on the idea of being a movie star. He may have several films coming out, but this is a guy who took a few years off after the first Spiderman movie to get a degree in English Literature. Maybe versatility is what he is aiming for in life, instead of the shallow, phoney life of a “movie star”…
