I first saw Dave Franco as the jerk character in the misjudged final season of _Scrubs_ that was sort of a spin-off they weren’t allowed to spin off, or something. Anyway, I have always thought of him as that jerk ever since, and can’t picture him any other way. ---

Anyway, I have always thought of him as that jerk ever since, and can’t picture him any other way. :eek: I had no idea that was the same person. That season wasn’t very good, but his character (or maybe even the way he portrayed it) really didn’t help.
