So, it looks as though Franco has been on the B or C celebrity List for quite some time already. He was a big deal after that movie about the mountain climber. Some actors only have one big hit in their careers, if any.
I think Franco is doing okay. He has actually been playing a range of characters, though his biggest commercial successes are the “bromance” movies like “Pineapple Express” and “This is the End”. It remains to be seen how “The Interview” will impact his career, thought its often said that there is no such thing as bad publicity in Hollywood. The movie could yet turn out to be huge.
