‘Scrubs’ Star Dave Franco Joins “Band of Outsiders”
We’ve all heard how the Scrubs
stars think Dave Franco belongs in a CW show than in a hospital, especially with that mug of his. But it looks like the closest he’ll get to that is by modeling for a clothing line known as “Band of Outsiders”.
MTV News reports that he was chosen as one of the newest faces for the campaign, joining actress Leslie Mann and Community star Donald Glover. The trio, unlikely as they may seem, have been tasked to pose for a series of photos showcasing the fashions.
The Scrubs actor, aka James Franco’s little brother, was photographed with Mann and Glover all around Marina Del Rey, California. They certainly seem to be quite a sight on those whitewashed Polaroids.
Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg told Vanity Fair about the unusual pick in the casting, which is certainly an interesting take. He said, “I thought it would be kind of hilarious to pair a cougar with two younger dudes and see what kind of story would come out of it.”
The choices seem to be appropriate enough. “We cast Leslie, Dave, and Donald because they’re equally cool, hilarious, and great looking–all comedic actors that I admire so much,” Sternberg added.
The trio certainly looks like they’re having a blast playing seafarers and such. It’s difficult to see these comedians acting stoic and model-y, but for some reason it works. Aside from the fact that Dave Franco already looks the part, the quirky concept is enough to win us over.
You can see the rest of the photos on the Band of Outsiders official site, which
also features photos of other actors who have been a big part of the clothing line. I’ve spotted some of my favorites, like Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson of HBO’s Bored to Death.
Beck’s also there, and Spike Jonze. Gael Garcia Bernal’s another noteworthy personality, which pretty much sums up the Band of Outsiders I’m familiar with. Oddly there aren’t enough women in there though. Maybe they can drag in Scrubs‘ Eliza Coupe for it. But for now, we’re already happy Dave Franco’s part of the campaign.
