At some point after James Franco became a high-profile movie star, he found himself asking, “What if you get everything you want and nothing changes?” As James explains to Marc, that led to a re-engagement with art and academics, a stint on General Hospital, an infamous hosting experience on the Oscars, and many passion projects that he willed to fruition.
