Nepotism opens the door

Let’s not pretend like he didn’t get Superbad in part because James Franco worked with Seth Rogen and Apatow. It opened doors for sure. No point in denying it other than ego.

Oh give me a fucking break. The issue isn’t that you can’t do the job, it’s that otherwise deserving people aren’t even given the opportunity to attempt to do so while you were just handed it on a silver platter.

“Hey, I mean…He took the acting classes and the poverty and the auditions and the interviews and the exploitation and the paying our parents mortgage. But **I didn’t sext any teenage girls as an adult man..**”
Valid.

Probably just trying to distance himself from his rapist brother, understandable really

The more you suck, the less visible you become.

If that were true we wouldn’t still have a Baldwin problem.

See this is why I like Jack Quaid. He acknowledges he has been lucky and privileged. But then he’s also actually a fucking good actor

I like him, but bro. He is the exact same in every single movie.
He would not have gotten his career without nepotism

The whole point is that it opens the door. There are so many talented hard working actors and the only difference is that no one knows them and they have no way of getting mg a foot in the door.
It’s so annoying that so many nepo’s like to say “it just opened the door for me I had to work hard.” And so does everyone. Everyone has to work hard

Yeah c’mon guys, it’s not because he’s James Franco’s brother… it’s because he’s Alison Brie’s husband.

What is wrong with saying you got a job because of your brother? My brother is a successful director and would hire me, I certainly wouldn’t have my experience without those first projects

Ill take a Dave over a James

Forest for the trees kinda shit.
Yeah he’s had to work to be semi successful, but he has also been completely ingrained in the machine through name, status and connections.
He’s acting like he started as some no-name from a podunk town, who made their own way. 👀
MesoHandsome on
but here’s the thing….he does suck lol and yet he hasn’t disappeared, so theres that.

Whatever helps him sleep at night

You get to be mediocre. Everyone else without connections needs to be exceptional. Must be nice.
Redzombie6 on
Getting your foot in the door is the biggest hurdle in a successful position, no matter what it is. Out of the millions of people who COULD do what he does, what are the odds he was just the best one? Astronomical is the answer. Just be an adult and admit your connections got you there and your talent kept you there. people will respect the honesty.

Nepotism is almost never recognized by people that it benefits.
Constant_Chip_1508 on
I think he’s awesome on his own and extremely charismatic but… come on. You need to know people to get into the industry, that’s fine
SHADOWSTRIKE1 on
It certainly opened that door, but he absolutely had the chops to stay in. Especially with the issues with James, he rose above and didn’t let it tarnish his career.
I don’t know if I’d say Dave is a *better* actor than James, but he definitely deserves his spot.
JenninMiami on
His brother definitely opened some doors, but they’d have slammed shut if he wasn’t a decent actor.
TiredReader87 on
He’s always been the better and more talented one. He chooses far better movies too, including horror.
James tried to hook up with my friend’s aunt while filming nearby.

Another neppobaby making believe connections and contacts mean nothing. So stupid and vain.

I enjoyed The Disaster Artist but he sucked in it.
etherealcaitiff on
He’s the better actor in my opinion, but still you gotta acknowledge that you got your break because of your brother.
StevesRune on
Thats just not true.
This is like saying, „If I committed a crime, i would be in jail!“.
jkra0512 on
These people fail to recognize, or worse, choose not to be honest in that doors were left open for them to walk through, and for all of the others those doors either never appeared or were closed.
UnnamedStaplesDrone on
Clown doesn’t realize there’s probably a few hundred thousand talented actors in LA that can’t actually find an acting gig because they’re not a sibling of someone successful
Lordbogaaa on
Yeah I agree and Dave can act no doubt. But withoit his brother being a star would he have gotten a chance
