Partly because of his older age, so far James has managed to reach much more than Dave. Should you examine a few of his estimates, you’ll notice that at least to get an extended interval in the past Dave has felt like he’s residing in the shadow of his brother. I believe this was his manner of attempting to get individuals to value him for who he’s — an mature, independent performer. Plus, it seems like Dave needed to fight against common misconception he owes his popularity to his brother and wouldn’t be capable of developing an enduring career as an actor by himself. By way of example, he’s quoted saying: my brother helped me get a supervisor, which I do not take for granted. (…) But from there, no one’s planning to cast me simply since I am James Franco’s little brother.” I believe while saying these words Dave was really exaggerating the situation. Because in the event the trustworthiness of his Brother was such a important challenge as he fought, now Dave Franco net worth wouldn’t amount to $2 million dollars. The performer who’s this rich must have something more, than great connections.
What exactly is it that Dave has? Personally, despite the fact that I really consider his younger as gifted performer, I do not believe it was his playing ability that played a leading part in helping him to procure jobs so far. When it comes to day, Dave still has not received any major acknowledgement from the critics, but he does hold a Young Hollywood Award for Fan Favourite. Therefore i think it’s his natural appeal and unexplainably captivating manners which are really in charge of the rapid growth of Dave Franco net worth.

Quote
1
To be honest, I was kind of a shy kid growing up.
2
When I think of myself, I'm definitely... I'm not like a comedian.

I think my first big purchase was actually for my mom. She had one of those '90s TVs in her living room that's like a 10x10 brick, so I purchased her a flatscreen for her living room.

I'm a cat person.

I just know that it's smart for my career to carve my own path and do my own thing.
6
I can't say I was like a die-hard zombie fan, but I've definitely seen a few different zombie movies and TV shows.
7
I'm a small shifty kind of guy.
8
I'm not one of those people who are, like, always joking in person.
9
At this point, I feel like I can allow myself to be goofy and take more risks, and even if I do fall on my face, I know it's not the end of the world and at least I tried to do something different.

I don't just wanna be James Franco's little brother.
11
I'm a tough critic on myself.
12
As much as I love and respect my brother, I'm doing my best to distance myself from him and kind of show people that, even though we do look similar and have similar mannerisms, we are completely different.
13
For example, for me, my brother helped me get a manager, which I don't take for granted. It's tough getting a manager, let alone one that actually cares about you and is smart. But from there, no one's going to cast me just because I'm James Franco's little brother.

[observation, age 27, on playing teenage roles] Everyone always says, especially in the business, it's great to look a lot younger than you are for longevity's sake. But sometimes I just want to look my damn age and play a character my age. I don't want to play high school again.
