Why is James Franco on General Hospital?

WTF? I think he is a really cool young actor with a lot of potential. He has been in huge movies and is now working amongst Z list actors. Why? Is he on drugs? Desperate for work? No answer makes sense! This would be like Brad Pitt to start starring in Lifetime Movies of the Week or Saturday Night SyFy movies? Who has an answer?

Supposedly it's a really short stint and has something to do with an upcoming project of his. I guess the reason why he's making the appearance on one of the worst soap operas out there is because he shares the same agent as one of the actors on the show.

Also, don't be knocking the Z-list!

Isn't he doing some kind of either reality show, or unscripted variety show or something like that? I thought I remembered hearing about that, and his stint on the soaps was a 2-month deal that somehow tied in with it.
