James Franco Talks About Playing Scott Smith in Milk

[Ezsole]

he seems to care about honing his craft and not impressing critics. I love him for that!…

[crearusername]

He is also intellectualy gifted, painfully beautiful and sometimes misunderstood.He is not your boy next door. If you don't like what he does, ignore him. I think he's an amazing man

[deep71483]

What a gorgeous and intelligent man.

[MyLalaland99]

III LOOOVEEE UUUUUUUUUUUUUU OMG IM GONNA DIEEE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[gostayjumpclimb]

James Franco is talented and beautiful.

[heartflower111]

James is a fantastic actor. He seems like a pretty damn amazing person as well.

[Sarcastic07]

Widow Milk? That's cute!

I <3 you James! Keep making movies...get off the soap opera lol

[trevortrevortsr2]

What a charming man - level headed with a passion for his art - very cool

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome interview! I've got the movie, Milk and I love it! It may not be a movie for EVERYONE for obvious reasons, but if you like history, you like Sean Penn or if you have an open mind about homosexuality and are looking for a good movie, this is it.

[Seattlecarnut]

"Milk" is my favourite movie of 2008. I've seen the documentary "The Times of Harvey Milk", and I loved it, but the movie is awesome.

[simulcra101]

I'm so excited for "Howl"

[bamzs]

James Franco...Such a great actor. And one that knows how to choose his roles, thank goodness. I'm glad he took on this role and decided to be a part of the film. I respect him more for it.

Plus, he and Sean Penn played out Harvey and Scott's love with such affection and...love, I suppose. And I agree that Scott was the love of Harvey's life.

[corcor44]

they didnt ask James to do the role, he searched out gus van sant and begged him to let him be a part of the film! isnt that great!!! YAAAYYY James Franco!

.....and when he said that "some actors" are afraid to come out" i hope he meant himself!!! xxxx

LONG LIVE HARVEYS MEMORY AND THANK YOU MR MILK FOR EVERYTHING, YOU ARE WELL AND TRULY MISSED.

[luigidesigns]

wow, I saw the blog, a little obsessed about the actor? Get a life.

[Baumi123777]

at 4.07 there´s a woman in the background...thats looks funny :)

james is just great!!

[TheCinemaSource]

Yeah...the publicist unfortunately had no concept of "getting out of the way."

[aliqbn]

trannys i think ... and james is awesome ♥

[ebbitchez]

he's absolutely the most animated person when he talks about his movies. Fantastic movie and fantastic actor! &hearts;

[SexySkillTrap]

He is, but I'll have to give the "most animated award" to Shia Labeouf. James Franco's a way better actor of course.

[Wolfbloodvamps171]

I loved this movie.

[kikiojj]

I really like James Franco in this movie, actually I like even more, in one way the story of Harvey and Scott is that to be with the person you love youre willing to fight for that person, they broke up but Scott still stood next to Harvey all the way. Beautiful story and movie.

[critty]

I loved this interview! James was so animated and into what he was saying, I loved Harvey & Scott in the film and I really would've liked to have seen James win some more awards for playing Scott. He was tremendous and really brought a lot of heart to the film. I wish we could somehow see that old Scott Smith interview to see how he really was.

[corcor44]

there was no dialogue of the interview in this vid what the hell?!?!?! was this just me? why caouldnt i hear it? i only heard classical music!!!!

[babybirl009]

is the real scott smith as cute as james?

[critty]

There is a picture of Scott with Harvey at the end of the video . It's pretty hard to surpass James and his attractiveness. But the real Scott Smith looked pretty adorable, especially by Harvey's side. They're so cute!

[babybirl009]

i didnt get to watch the whole interview but i just saw it and yea ur right he doesnt pass james lol but they looked cute

[marauderthesn]

Not quite, but he was pretty cute.

[xemilyannxxo]

milk is an amazing movie and james franco is an amazing actor :D LOVE HIMMMMMM!

[SimplySophie23]

Is there a reason the whole interview has been dubbed over with bad elevator music....in the last 45mins by the looks of things too!?! I wanted to listen to him! :(

[gopher77]

Other than City By the Sea, I think this was one of James' best roles, acting-wise. Although, I do love him as Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man movies too.

"I guess Scott Smith was...the love of Harvey's life." <333333 I loved them in this movie. I thought Sean Penn and James Franco had such natural chemistry together.

[murpy]

the girl in the backgrounnd is kinda creepy lol

[Alcazar1024]

OMG 0:12 IT'S LUCAS GRABEEL!!! :D :D :D

[zz8w]

he is stylish!

[bdavis7679]

background music is from milk, go see the movie btw... cuz its amazing

[areyouamormon]

They were to together for 40 years ???

[kman20]

I think he said 4 years...

[ilk3babygirl]

oh my gosh he is so fine and good looking! i still need to watch this movie.

[mike2327]

James was amazing in the movie he is a gifted actor as well as Sean Penn

[NEXUS1A]

MILK was ASESOME, it only took Sean Penn the better part of his adult life to blossom into a awesome performer this is a far cry from his homophobic behavior of the 80's ! MUCH love Sean!....and MR. FRANCO damn not only are you talented but BEAUTIFUL to boot! tell your parents and your grandparents THANK YOU :-)

[mmskir]

i love james <3

and lol @ the girl loitering in the background...

[StuckToYoux]

wtf is with the music in the background :|

[jimmorrisonismydaddy]

The background music is REALLY ANNOYING. FUCK FACE.

[JAMESJEAMESJAMES]

James uses his hands alot!!! Great hands!!hehe

I do the same, but people stare at my hands all the time and I find it annoying!!

[lisambofoh]

Then see Spiderman.

[kd7895]

He is so sexy and intelligent. He was excellent in Milk. He really shows his acting chops in this movie. Congrats James!

[n0kturna1]

James is really showing everywhere how much he cares for this movie.. GO JAMES!!! WE ALREADY LOVED YOU, NOW YOU'RE GOING ICON!!! :D

[JAMESJEAMESJAMES]

awesome interview! James is just so paasionate about the movie and everything that hes does! I wonder if that was ahna is girlfriend standing by the door during some parts of the interview. He has such a cute lisp:)

[Slyce]

Lisp?!?? Never heard one on James. I know he pronounces his words very EXACT - not like New Yawkas - but I guess that's cuz he's from Cali.

[JAMESJEAMESJAMES]

You're probably right! I'll have to have a conversation with James sometime and find out for myself.hehe:)
