I really want to hate this guy and find reasons to hate this guy. When I read in the student paper at UCLA that he was taking between 22 to 63 units a semester the only thing I could think was favorable treatment.... but he seem like a decent hard working guy who deserved what he has gotten so far. All power to him. Haters gonna hate.
@okonh0wp I agree, James really need to find his balance! I believe he is doing all of it to add credibility, edge and recognition in Hollywood and I understand that but if he can't give the work 100% he should not do it all. I was hesitant at first but I am on his side. He is actually saying that he completed the coursework and assignments. When he received the grade, he should have discussed it with the professor to see what could be done. But who knows, maybe it was an unfair grade.
I think this teacher is promoting itself with this whole story ... James is not even a little arrogant, nor spoke ill of the teacher in this video. Also where is the ethics of this teacher making comments about famous student or not? Where are the ethics?

@vickyhvac im sure @philosophuck is prof.santana ..i sensed hatred towards james in his words...i think that was the time [3months ago] when santana was planning of sueing franco /NYU...im sure franco is very busy with his work that he doesnt have time to come on youtube & comment; but the prof.santana has hands of time to come online and chat with people because i see him commenting everywhere from fb to new york post...
It reminds me of " A Serious Man". If youre the professor you can't fail James Franco. Professor let his pride get in the way. Pride is great, but it doesn't pay the bills.
Gizelita- It was Pineapple Express that turned his attitude towards making movies around, not 127 hrs. He said that PE changed his attitude and up until that point, he considered dropping out of Hollywood.
James Franco is just an average guy who worked really really hard to get where he is (even if he's not the best actor around) HE managed to get VERY GOOD CONTACTS in Hollywood. Second, his come back to school was pretty much predictable Have you seen the movies he has been doing over the last 15 years Very poor movies . The only way he was going to have a control over his career was if HE produced movies HIMSELF.The guy was about to leave hollywood until came 127 hours...which saved his soul
@philosophuck I don't think james franco felt he was entitled to a good grade in that class, nor was he badmouthing the professor. maybe you should watch the video again.
i love that huge grin he does and 3:39 is great "...and I was TIRED!"
thank God i've never met him because i would laugh my ass off at everything he says. there is just something fuckin hilarious about the way he expresses himself
I don't think he is arrogant. He is actually entertaining and animaed when he talks. It is funny when he talks because he does not sound pretentious at all. None of his interviews ever sound rehearsed but very natural. I like how he is always smiling.
I don't think he is saying that he was entitled to an A in the class. Most professors would excuse absences because of professional work in your field, but some don't, and attendance can really affect your grade. I'd be a little peeved too if I completed all the work despite not being there, and still got a poor grade. At least he didn't fail though.
@Angoose yeah, he is a little. It's funny how it flies over all the fangirls' heads here... although I will admit, his arrogance is a bit subtle and passive aggressive.
@sferb I have seen people refer to him as arrogant and I was surprised because I have seen him interact with his fans before he was big like he is now and he is nice. But yes, I didn't like the way he said "my films have played at sundance" blah blah blah. James, it does not mean they were good, they accepted your films because of your name and status most likely.
@NeverEclipsed It's a double edged sword. They might get accepted because of his celebrity, but they WILL get panned if they're in any way inadequate.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@jfkjrlover He enrolls in what, three masters programs, signs on for a movie, doesn't attend class, and then acts as though he was entitled to an A? But it's OK; even though he gave the incredible James Franco a D, the prof is still a good guy!
Just as it can get a mediocre collection of short stories published, fame can get your films aired at festivals and your art in a gallery. Nothing says it has to be good.
Attend class, James Franco, and your work might improve.
@Angoose He didn't think he was entitled to an A, I think he was just pointing out the irony that he is a professional actor who got a D in acting class. He also explained why he got a D in the course and how it wasn't because the professor was being a hardass on him b/c he's James Franco, it was because he didn't go to class.
@jfkjrlover By laughing. "OH EM GEE, ME, JAMES FRANCO, THE HANDSOME GUY WHO GETS ROLES BECAUSE OF A PRETTY FACE-- GOT A D!!!" I guess that's why he transfered to Yale. There are tons of people from NYU students of him sleeping in class, and a friend of mine actually caught him at Bobst filing out the fafsa...so not only is he arrogant, but greedy as fuck also. Hello, this guy made over 20 million in Spiderman and hes filing out the fafsa!?!?!
@marina1991x I love him and I hope to god that he never applied for student aid!!! that is completely disrespectful to people would need financial assistance
