James Franco might have made a big name for himself on the silver screen, but that doesn’t mean the small screen is too small for him! James will appear on General Hospital on Nov. 23, followed by on and off appearances for two months afterwards, Fancast.com reports.
Details on James’ role on the show are hush-hush for now, but we do know that his character will represent “the worst nightmare” for Jason Morgan, the mob thug played by Emmy winner Steve Burton.
James is no stranger to TV either — he got his start on Judd Apatow’sFreaks and Geeks, a much beloved show that unfortunately only lasted one season.
James Franco dropped out of giving the UCLA graduation speech this year after a “scheduling conflict” — and that whole falling asleep in class incident — but this is what it would have sounded like. WARNING: Explicit language!
James Franco has caused uproar among his classmates at Columbia University – after a group of squealing female fans interrupted a study session to “harass” the star.
The 30-year-old is currently enrolled at the prestigious New York school, where he is taking a master’s writing program.
Franco was reportedly studying at a university cafe when a crowd of “ridiculous, squealing freshman girl(s) gathered,” prompting editors at the institution’s Columbia Spectator to issue a warning to their classmates.
One student writes in the newspaper: “(They) were shameless enough to literally go right up to him… warning: Do a bit of subtle ogling, but don’t stand around the entrance like a pack of starving vultures.”
James Franco is frequently offered drugs by fans who confuse him with his pot-smoking character in stoner comedy Pineapple Express.
Franco and funnyman Seth Rogen play two drug-users on the run from gun-toting villains in the new film.
And though Rogen has admitted he is a regular drug user, Franco insists he stuns fans by refusing to smoke marijuana with them.
He says, “Already, I have had people come up to me in cafes and say, ‘Hey, you’re James Franco, right? Hey, I can’t get a hold of my guy – do you know where I can buy some good weed?’ Even in class (at UCLA) I’ve had someone come up to me and be, ‘Hey! What’s up, man?’ and give me a handshake and palm me a little bag of weed. I haven’t done drugs, I haven’t even smoked pot, since high school.”
