James Franco

I don't like his "paintings", but then again, there's lots of art that is highly praised by the experts that I find absolutely horrible, ridiculous and worthless.

James Franco did a great job in 127 hours. In fact, it's one of the best performances I've seen this year.

Too many celebs now who are dumb as ****, think their opinions on politics and other subjects besides that of their profession are important because of their fame.

At least Franco is genuinely willing to educate himself, and doesn't seem to want to shove his views down people's throats like Sean Penn, George Clooney, Robert Redford, etc.

Actually his role as James Dean in the biopic James Dean is absolutely brilliant. He doesn't have respect as an actor because the majority of his roles are light hearted fluff, but he definitely is a good actor. Of course he is no Colin Firth or DiCaprio...

I think he's a good actor that has done some great roles and will probably do more. He's no Daniel Day-Lewis, though.
