EXCLUSIVE: Dave Franco has signed with CAA, reuniting with Kami Putnam Heist, who originally represented him at Gersh before she moved over. She also reps his older brother, James Franco. Dave Franco has built a nice run lately. After playing the villain in 21 Jump Street, he has shot Warm Bodies, the zombie tale that stars Nicholas Hoult and John Malkovich and which Summit releases February 1. He followed with Now You See Me, starring with Woody Harrelson and Morgan Freeman, which Summit releases June 7. Franco, who got his start writing and starring in shorts for funnyordie.com before landing a regular role on the series Scrubs, continues to be managed by Miles Levy at James Levy Management.


I thought for sure he’d go with us.
Oh please, that at least a shot at being funny when you’re talking Chris Hemsworth or Channing Tatum, it’s not funny at all when you’re talking a guy with a couple bit parts in a couple things who happens to be another guy’s brother. Try again.

Eyeroll is definitely an APA employee. Got so excited to post his slam, he published it twice without proofreading it once.
He is really funny. I loved him on Scrubs. Can’t believe that he and James are brothers though because they are so different. Wish him the best of luck.
He was hilarious in that `You’re So Hot” short (the first one, not the weaker sequel). Hope his future is a bright one.
Uh, got his start by doing skits for funnyordie.com? How about got his start by being biologically related to a famous brother?
He was also repped by Kami at Endeavor… AND THEN SHE DROPPED HIM.
If Dave wasn’t related to James, a) would he ever have gotten the breaks he has compared to better actors out there without ‘connections’ and b) would CAA even have glanced his way for representation? I’d LOVE to see some feedback on this site. NO, I’m not an actor – just work worked with them; celebrities included.
Congrats to Dave. He has real talent, which he has already shown and will continue to do so.
Love him and his big brother too. Such raw talent in that family. When will Tom Franco decide on acting too? Just keep the great movies coming..
