Seth Rogen gives up his part in pot comedy Pineapple Express to get James Franco

“We sent him the script, and we wanted him to play Dale, the role I ultimately played, because we had written his role for me,” Seth says.

“When he read it, he said something to the effect of ‘I like it but I want to play the other guy.’ And I thought ‘damn, he’s way more famous than me. We’ll ultimately have to do what he wants” said Rogen.

Seth was more than obliged to hand over the role to James, and thinks it improved the outcome of the movie. “We switched roles, and I think it worked out great. He was 1,000 times funnier than I was.”
