James Franco and younger brother Dave (he of the 10-second Superbad cameo) have teamed up for a series of Web videos on FunnyOrDie.com, where they put on display their special brand of brotherhood.
Dubbed ''Acting With James Franco'' and taped in the Los Angeles apartment they share, the clips feature a cheerfully preening and impatient James doling out pearls of thespian wisdom to an uncomfortable and unconvinced Dave. In the first installment, which claims to have attracted over 120,000 views since going up last month, James teaches the art of crying on camera through the anguished sense memory of his childhood cat's sudden death. The second video, which debuted a couple days ago, sees James giving a practical lesson on the intricacies of greenscreen acting in a multibillion-dollar-grossing comic-book trilogy.
When he's not giving his brother a hard time on the Web, James Franco has been busy with roles in two highly anticipated movies: Pineapple Express and Milk.
