After fifteen months of training, he began auditioning in Los Angeles, California , and got his first break in 1999, after he was cast in a leading role on the short-lived but well-reviewed television series Freaks and Geeks .

He was subsequently cast as James Dean in director Mark Rydell's 2001 biographical TV film of the same name . The role brought Franco much critical acclaim, and he was distinguished in 2002 with a Golden Globe Award , as well as nominated for an Emmy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award . Franco was originally considered for the lead role of Peter Parker in the film version of Spider-Man , but was instead cast in the supporting role of Harry Osborn , the son of the villainous Green Goblin .[7] Actor Robert De Niro handpicked Franco to play his son in the drama City by the Sea . Both Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 2 (2004) were very well-received critically and commercially. Franco has also co-starred with Neve Campbell in Robert Altman's The Company (2003).

Franco's next role was in Spider-Man 3 , released on May 1 ,[9] 2007 . He is scheduled to star in several other films due for a 2008 release, including Pineapple Express , a comedy co-starring Seth Rogen and written and produced by Judd Apatow , both of whom worked with Franco on Freaks and Geeks .[6] Franco made cameo appearances in The Holiday and Knocked Up . He was also featured in the mockumentary, "Finding Ben Stone", on the two-disc edition of Knocked Up , where he gets fired from the lead role.
