Wired Writes:
James Franco is not a scientist. But he’s no stranger to the occasional experiment. The actor who came to prominence on the cult-favorite TV show Freaks and Geeks has sought out roles as disparate as an amiable stoner (Pineapple Express), an intense supervillain (Spider-Man), an imperiled hiker (127 Hours), and even a celebrity having that weird dream where you’re kind of out of it while hosting the Oscars. And then there’s the life outside acting—enrolling at a bunch of universities, making art films, racing to catch a red-eye flight the day shooting ended for his upcoming Rise of the Planet of the Apes so he could attend the orientation for his doctoral program in English at Yale.
