James Edward Franco (born April 19, 1978) is an American actor, filmmaker and writer known for roles in film and for directing The Disaster Artist.

Academy Award nominee for Best Actor for 127 Hours (2010).

Joe Strummer praises The Disaster Artist as a humane, ironic tribute to failure and friendship. Franco frames Tommy Wiseau's story as both tragic and comic, valuing persistence over polished success. The film's imitation of The Room and side-by-side sequences are highlighted. Reviewer score: 7/10.

For:cinephiles, readers interested in films about eccentric creators, fans of James Franco

 There’s triumph achieved through failure, there’s the persistence in wanting to say something authentic and in undertaking a feat for and with a friend, despite lacking the necessary artistic skills.
