James Franco, the young actor who plays Harry (Peter Parker’s best friend) in the Spider-Man films, is suddenly a very hot commodity in Hollywood, and deservedly so. Not only does he give first rate performances to this background character, but he has the “look” of a legitimate Hollywood leading man. I saw Spider-man 2 again tonight, and every time Franco was on the screen the female friend I was with just swooned‚Ķ as did many of the women in the crowd. According to the internet movie database, Franco has no less than FIVE films in the works to be released over the next 2 years! That a busy schedule.
Mark my words‚Ķ this kid is going to be a major star within the next 3 years. He appears to have all the tools, he’s got the looks, and most importantly it looks like he’s getting the breaks. All I’m missing is the breaks.
