Dave and James Franco are the brothers known for their comic roles and the charisma they bring to the movies. While the older brother may have helped the 21 Jump Street star, Dave Franco, recently expressed that it was his effort that gained him success and popularity in Hollywood.
Talking to Bustle, the Regretting You actor stated,
If I sucked, I would’ve disappeared very quickly.
