HOW 'THE MINDY PROJECT' LANDED DR. JAMES FRANCO

As “The Mindy Project” begins its second season, the forecast calls for New York to be hotter than Haiti.  Why?  Because when Mindy comes back from her  volunteer work in the tropical nation, she finds a new doctor in her old office:  James Franco.  The Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee is one of Hollywood’s hottest properties, so what’s he doing on “The Mindy Project”?  Well, as it turns out, Mindy Kaling and James Franco have plenty of mutual friends, and when they both appeared in “This Is The End,” that was just the beginning of a working relationship between the two.  (Click on the audio player to hear Mindy Kaling)

 
While “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV” is one of Hollywood’s corniest clichés, Franco says that for him, there’s actually a lot of truth to it – he would like to be a doctor, but playing one is the closest he’ll ever get.  (Click on the audio player to hear James Franco)


 
The Mindy Project” airs Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30 Central on FOX.
