(AP Photo/Andrew Medichini, file)James Franco. This is one interesting cat. After having a breakout of sorts with “Freaks and Geeks”, there is the predictable Hollywood path a person with his looks go. Do a couple of teen movies. Do more grown up roles. Keep your shirt off. Date industry girls.
But he didn’t quite do that. He’s written a book, albeit one that wasn’t highly regarded. He’s hosted the Oscars which was panned. He had an exhibition at MOCA. He’s played Hugh Hefner and Allen Ginsberg. He’s produced a film that goes into the lost footage from Crusing.
Okay. He might not be the best neighbor. But for his constant exploration he gets my love.
