James Franco plays the title character in Oz the Great and Powerful, but he doesn't exactly start off as the greatest guy in the world. At a recent press day for the film, I sat down with Franco to talk about what he saw in the character of Oz and why he's loved The Wizard of Oz since he was a kid. He also revealed which character he would have played in the original movie. Watch!

She popped up on the set of The Angriest Man in Brooklyn in NYC last week.
