Bio:
James Franco (born James Edward Franco in Palo Alto, California on April 19, 1978) is an actor, writer, and director in Hollywood.

Since then, James has appeared in countless films, including Spider-Man (2002), In the Valley of Elah (2007), Pineapple Express (2008), Nights in Rodanthe (2008), and in Milk (2008) which earned him an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor.

His breakthrough starring role on Freaks and Geeks.
