Though Famed For His Acting, Franco Is Also A Skilled Artist.

Ovation have released a statement about their new programming: "From his gallery exhibits to his students' films, the innovative series will provide an exclusive opportunity to hear Mr. Franco's point of view on his most personal passion projects, most of which have not been seen by the public."

"Thousands of hours from Mr. Franco's personal video library will be showcased, including video diaries, documentary footage from his most ambitious art films and interactions with his heroes from every artistic genre."

Over the years, Franco has exhibited his work in Beverley Hills, Paris, L.A and Cleveland. According to the Glu Gallery in L.A, as reported by the actor's fansite, "The actor spends his free time painting with oils and acrylics. Franco was born in Palo Alto, Calif., to aspiring artists. His late grandfather was a cartoonist, and grandmother Mitzie Verne runs a Japanese art gallery in Cleveland.

"Franco calls his grandmother a great influence. 'She took me to Japan to meet artists there. One even invited me to live with him for a year. I didn't, and now I regret it.'"

James Franco will next appear on Comedy Central on 2nd September for a Labor Day roast.
