The producers of General Hospital have announced that legitimate, well-respected film actor James Franco has signed on to the daytime soap for a two-month hitch."It's an honor that an actor of James' caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles," said executive producer Jill Farren Phelps.
Franco will reportedly play "a mysterious character" who moves to the fictional town of Port Charles and basically causes trouble.
Producers say Franco approached the show about joining the cast. Didn't anyone think to check for dilated pupils or slurred speech?
This smacks of Joaquin Phoenix-ism. "James Franco becomes a soap actor." Next up, a drunken Letterman appearance that has everyone wondering if he's lost his mind.
