James Franco has been many things: a movie actor, a soap star, a film director, a painter, and a grad student (at four universities, all at the same time!).
Now, according to a press release, the irrepressible Mr. Franco is both a college course and one of the instructors:
Academy Award-nominated actor James Franco has partnered with Columbia College Hollywood to offer an innovative course through which 12 of the private film school’s best editing students will create a 30 minute documentary film from videographic footage from Mr. Franco’s own unorthodox career.
“Master Class: Editing James Franco…with James Franco” breaks new ground in higher education. Can anyone recall another course where the professor is also the subject of study?

Didn’t Newt Gingrich teach a course once? I assume it was about himself.—Sandy Thatcher

A course about Francisco Franco would be more interesting. And more worthy of the college.

Nevertheless, Newt Gingrich has a Ph.D. And unlike the dissertation of at least one famous American, he wrote every word himself.
