James Franco’s Apperance on Inside The Actors Studio Causes a Stir

(HMG Celebrity News) – Do you think aspiring actors know good acting wheny they see it?   Tickets to the recent taping of Inside the Actors Studio with James Franco sold out nearly immediately, which left producers turning away insiders who tried to walk on to fill the usual empty seats. Show producers reportedly had to turn away 250 “industry professionals” who showed up at the taping trying to get free tickets to the show, for the first in the history of Inside the Actors Studio.

During the taping, so many girls were screaming for the handsome actor, host James Lipton had to stop the interview to tell the crowd, “17 years filming this show and I’ve never heard a sound like that before.”  After taping, Franco “stayed another hour-and-a-half and talked to every single student and fan who wanted to talk.”

According to a TMZ source, “No one has done that since Paul Newman…the very first guest that ever appeared on the show.”

The episode will air sometime in December.

After what many call his best screen performance yet in the harrowing ’127 Hours,’ James Franco certainly appears to be bolstering hopes of nabbing a best actor Oscar nomination.
