Actor and filmmaker James Franco will guest-star in the season premiere of THE MINDY PROJECT airing Tuesday, Sept. 17 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) and
continue his two-episode arc in the season’s second episode, Tuesday, Sept. 24 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Franco
will play DR. PAUL LEOTARD, the charismatic and popular doctor who
replaces MINDY (Mindy Kaling) at Shulman & Associates while she is
in Haiti
on a volunteer mission. A former professional fashion model, Dr.
Leotard radically altered his career goals after he accidentally walked
off a runway at fashion week and was saved by a pregnant woman. From
that day forward, he devoted himself to helping pregnant
women and immediately applied to medical school.
One
of the most celebrated actors of his generation, James Franco is
perhaps best known for his Academy Award-nominated performance as
mountain climber Aron Ralston
in the acclaimed 2010 feature “127 Hours.” Equally adept at comedy as
he is at drama, Franco also has starred in several box office comedy
hits, including “This is the End” and “Pineapple Express.” Other
starring roles in films include “Oz the Great and Powerful,”
“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “The Spider-Man” franchise.
Franco’s breakthrough starring role was on the now-classic TV series
“Freaks and Geeks,” and he continues to appear on the small screen in
series such as “Hollywood Heights” and “General Hospital.”
Franco will also be seen in his own feature adaptation of William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying,” which he directed.
