Acting with James Franco


It's almost Oscars time, and seeing as we're all going to be out of jobs soon anyway, why not learn a trade that is the natural partner of unemployment - acting. How do you become an actor? Do you have to go to RADA? Have pushy obese stage parents? Be an Arguette, Baldwin or Daddo? Expose yourself on reality TV? Marry a studio exec? Probably all of the above. But you also have to get some lessons and choose a method or technique to bore people about at parties.

Luckily for those of us just trying to take an inquisitory sip from the thespian cup, the google machine provides important lessons in the most noble craft that rhymes with lesbianism. Join actor James W D Franco below as he instructs a midget in the three main cornerstones of thespianism:

1. Sense memory



2. Green screen




3. Scene work




I feel a two episode arc on Judge Judy coming my way after watching these.
