Franco with Carter, right.
The director Carter, Erased James Franco, suggested to James Franco to do the General Hospital gig.
Carter discusses this and more for Movieline.com:
Some people were horrified by the idea that he would do this. They regarded it as career self-sabotage.
People are very critical. Obviously, someone like James Franco — someone who’s not starting out — does not necessarily have to be on a soap opera. I think this notion of “Why would he dare do something like that? It’s a career killer!” is silly. Liz Taylor was on General Hospital, for crying out loud! For James, it’s much more of a challenge, and that’s to his credit. It’s a challenging thing to be on a soap opera — it’s a lot of work, it’s a lot of memorization. In the context of him, again, this is not something he would have to do, but it’s something interesting to him. I take the credit…but that’s why I work with him, too. He’s open to doing other things.
