James Franco [1] turns 36 this weekend, and we're not really sure when he'll have time to celebrate his birthday, since he seems to be one of the busiest actors in Hollywood. And he doesn't just make a lot of movies — he takes very different roles, which have given him the chance to test out a lot of very different looks. He's rocked cornrows and tattoos in Spring Breakers, long hair to play a stoner and a knight, and he occasionally goes clean-cut to let that great bone structure shine. Whatever way you like your James Franco, we've got a picture of him for you right here.
