DAVE FRANCO

As fans of the TV series Scrubs will attest, it was all change with the ninth season of the medical comedy. Recently joining the cast of the Emmy-winning show is Dave Franco (younger brother of James), who has been quietly building a career with numerous roles in film and American TV. While the future of Scrubs currently stands in the balance, Franco is keen to keep himself busy and will appear in Noah Baumbach’s forthcoming Greenberg, in which he parties with his real-life friends and snorts cocaine with Ben Stiller – “something you don’t say every day.” 
    Attending the world premiere of Greenberg at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, Franco took to the city but was perplexed by the regimented German approach to clubbing. “I did notice that when you’re at a club and there’s music going, everyone – every single person – is facing the DJ and everyone is dancing by themselves. That was interesting.” Interesting, yes, but also a blessing for Franco. “I am a terrible dancer and so I didn’t have to embarrass myself in front of any girls.”
