'Privileged' Casting Coup: Rose Falls for a Franco!

Tags:

No, not James Franco — the next best thing: his younger sib!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Dave Franco, the up-and-coming brother of movie star James, is joining Privileged for a multi-episode arc. He’ll play a love interest for Rose (Lucy Hale).

Franco’s previous credits include Fox’s short-lived comedy debacle Do Not Disturb and ABC Family’s awesome Greek.

His Privileged arc kicks off in early ’09.

In related news, I’m still waiting on that back-nine pickup. Yes, Dawn Ostroff, I’m talking to you. (Additional reporting by Oriana Schwindt)

    Ewwww. In Do Not Disturb (quicky cancelled, oh thank you god) his voice is very whiny. Voice coach needed here please. LOVE Privileged!!! I’m with you Ausiello, waiting for the back nine too. Wake up Dawn!!!

    He is/was on Greek? I love that show, and I love him and I never noticed him.

    I’m just wondering why Mike hasn’t posted on the fact that his biffle Lauren Graham is about to make her broadway debut in Guys and Dolls…hmm…

    I guess those acting lessons from James are paying off ;D

  • Laura

    Love Greek! I would discourage you of begging Dawn Ostroff for anything, but then I remembered that she probably likes Privileged, as it’s nothing like Supernatural, which she seems to hate. So maybe she’ll listen to you!
