Because he’s not quite busy enough acting, writing, painting, directing, and just being James Franco, James will be handling a two-episode arc on the upcoming season of The Mindy Project. He’ll be guest starring in the season premiere on September 17, 2013 at 9:30pm ET/PT followed by a wrap-up of his character on September 24th.
 
According to Fox, Franco is playing Dr. Paul Leotard, “the charismatic and popular doctor who replaces Mindy (Mindy Kaling) at Shulman & Associates while she is in Haiti on a volunteer mission. A former professional fashion model, Dr. Leotard radically altered his career goals after he accidentally walked off a runway at fashion week and was saved by a pregnant woman. From that day forward, he devoted himself to helping pregnant women and immediately applied to medical school.”
 
Franco was most recently seen on the big screen welcoming his celebrity buddies into his Hollywood Hills home during the apocalypse in This Is The End.
