PLEASE NOTE: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SMALL SPOILERS FOR THE MINDY PROJECT SEASON ONE, WHICH HASN’T FINISHED AIRING IN THE UK.
Doesn’t this lovely bastard just get EVERYWHERE? It was revealed that James Franco would joining the cast of Fox’s prime time hit THE MINDY PROJECT, where he will be appearing for a two episode-arc.
Franco’s character has been described as ‘charismatic’ OB/GYN named Dr Paul Leotard, who replaces Mindy while she is volunteering in Haiti. His character is also a former model, who radically changed his career path after he was saved by a pregnant woman when he fell off the runway at Fashion Week (don’t be alarmed by this character synopsis, the show is actually very funny!)
THE MINDY PROJECT is created by Mindy Kaling, who also created and writes for the show. She is also known for her role in the US version of THE OFFICE, which she also wrote episodes for. THE MINDY PROJECT is currently airing on E4 in the UK, and will be returning to the US September 17th.
