Watch Oscar Host James Franco Talk About Drug Dealers with James Lipton

If you were one of the screaming audience members turned away from James Franco's taping of Inside the Actor's Studio last week, you're in luck: Bravo has released a few clips from his in-depth conversation with James Lipton. (Don't scream too loud, your cubicle mates might get startled.) Ahead, watch as the similarly mustachioed duo discuss how Franco maneuvered the role of his quirky Pineapple Express drug dealer, and how Danny Boyle's preconception about him -- from that same film -- almost kept him from his Oscar-bound role in 127 Hours.

Below, James Franco admits that when he first met with Danny Boyle to discuss 127 Hours, the director assumed Franco was high.

The full interview airs Dec. 7 on Bravo. Check those local listings, folks!
