My Take
Dave Franco earns my respect because he took the slow, unglamorous route: bit parts in comedies, a supporting run on Scrubs, then a genuine breakthrough with 21 Jump Street. Nothing about his rise looks handed to him, which matters given the famous-family comparisons he could have leaned on. What interests me most now is his pivot behind the camera as a director and screenwriter, a sign he is thinking about longevity rather than fame. He has an easy, slightly mischievous screen presence that makes even small roles memorable. Born in 1985 and trained at USC, I suspect his best chapter is the one he is writing right now.
