After dropping out freshman year at UCLA, James Franco became a dirty homeless guy.
Technically he had a house, but he lacked a car, income and motivation to shower regularly. (His parents cut him off when he dropped school to pursue acting.)
Franco was forced to get a job thing.
Because he looked like a dirty homeless guy, Franco couldn't land the humblest of waiter's job.
So.
He swallowed his pride, and also, a big mac.
Franco took a job at McDonald's.
Now if you've seen him, you know Franco's extremely smiley. Very positive thinker.
Thus, he saw drive-thru duty as an opportunity.
Whilst taking orders and scooping fries, he was in character.
Franco as Italian guy: Helloa der, woulda jew like-a to trya big mac?
Hungry dude: Yeah hi, can I get a number 4 with a large diet squirt?
Franco as Italian guy: Heya, o' coursa. Pulla yer car arounda da weendow.
That's how it went down.
Back on his feet and a will to win, it was a matter of time 'til Franco scored a winning role.

Awesome interview. A very, very funny (said with an Italian accent).
