James Franco has heard all of the jokes about him.
He gets it, but he doesnt really care.The Deuceis proof of that.
And thats to say nothing of his directing duties.

But when you saw me, I was at the height of my multitasking.
Now that I look back, I do think it was pretty crazy.
And coming from Franco, thats saying something.
Filming a scene with both Vincent and Frankie in the frame is difficult enough.
Those scenes would typically start with Franco as Vincent.
Production would run through the scene with Franco doing Vincent opposite a double playing Frankie.
Normally, when Im working with Seth Rogen and we improvise, you just improvise, Franco said.
You throw out the line, but I wasnt playing Frankie at that moment.
