James Franco is heading to The Mindy Project. The actor is set for an arc on the Fox comedy’s upcoming season, reuniting him with This Is the End co-star Mindy Kaling. Fox announced the guest appearance on Tuesday, noting that the actor will appear in two episodes of the second season — starting with the Sept. 24 premiere.
Franco is set to play Dr. Paul Leotard. The charming doctor is a replacement for Mindy, who departed the Shulman & Associates practice in the recent finale for a volunteer mission in Haiti. A former model, Dr. Leotard gave up on his first career when he walked off a runway and was saved by a pregnant woman.
When Franco makes his Mindy Project debut, he joins a rather esteemed group of guest stars. The first season of the comedy welcomed Seth Rogen, B.J. Novak, Mark Duplass, Jay Duplass, Allison Williams and Ellie Kemper.
