What's your favorite artistic James Franco product? His book? His movies? The classes he teaches? His hair? As of today, he has yet another product to add to his massive resume: He's joining the Fox comedy The Mindy Project.

Photos: James and Mindy have something else in common—they love a good selfie!

James-Franco

Yes, you read that correctly. James will star in a two-episode arc starting with the season premiere on September 19. He plays Dr. Paul Leotard, the doctor who replaces Mindy while she's off in Haiti with her boyfriend. A press release from Fox explains that his character is a former fashion model who fell off a runway and was saved by a pregnant woman, inspiring him to dedicate his life to pregnant women. Sure, okay. Why not.

My guess is that Mindy Kaling's character will despise James' character, since he sounds like a loopy numbnuts. Perfect! Here's hoping that she's broken up with the minister in Haiti and has a rebound fling with the dumb pretty boy.

What do you think of this casting? Do you think Mindy and Phil will have a romance? Do you think that James Franco sleeps? Tell us in the comments below or tweet us @OKMagazine.
