James Franco's 12 Craziest Moments

ABC

In his new film "127 Hours," James Franco's character cuts off his own arm to escape death. And we're really hoping that's a special effect considering how skillfully, of late, the actor has been merging his art with his real life.

Like a kid in a candy store, Franco's applied his varied talents -- and the resources of his fame -- to play a series of postmodern practical jokes on the world while giving the finger to all who'd rather he play the vapid pretty boy. Get More »
