When word broke that pretty boy actor James Franco was going to temporarily join the cast of General Hospital, we thought daytime television would be the perfect match for Franco’s dopey, perma-high, tiny-eyed skills. But the preview for his debut on November 20 is anything but tiny-eyed. In fact, we dare you to sit through this HIGHLY DRAMATIC minute of murder and intrigue without your eyeballs plain poppin’ out ya head.

Franco, sporting the preferred hairstyle of every bad guy in the movie Passenger 57, actually fits in quite nicely amongst the Fuddrucker’s Window of Man Meats that is the General Hospital cast. Though I think we can all agree after watching this that “Mad World”’s chill-inducing quotient is now on the same level as the Chili’s Baby Back Rib theme song.
