Before They Were Stars: A Bizarre James Franco Audition Tape

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5i12S1pzac

I’ve uncovered a lot of old celebrity audition tapes recently, but this is definitely the most bizarre of the lot. This was apparently filmed in about 1997 or so and features an unknown James Franco auditioning for some short film. You get to hear him improvise this ultra-weird monologue about being attacked by his grandmother after finding her eating dog food. Since I don’t see any short films on Franco’s filmography from this time period, it doesn’t look like this monologue got him the part.
