Yes, Dave Franco is related to James Franco as he is his younger brother.

American actor and filmmaker James Franco has been almost away from the limelight for quite some while now. After the sexual misconduct lawsuits in 2021 and him accepting that he had sex with his students while being a teacher, Franco’s career fell considerably low. Meanwhile, his brother, Dave Franco, continues to do amazing work. After making his acting debut in the CW drama television series 7th Heaven in 2006, the younger Franco has come a long way with his career and continues to amaze his fans with his creativity and performances.

For the unversed, Franco has two siblings; Thomas Andrew Franco and David John Franco. While James Franco was born on April 19, 1978, Tom was born two years later on April 14, 1980, and Dave half a decade after that on June 12, 1985.

Dave Franco is an American actor and filmmaker and to add to this, he is the younger brother of famous Hollywood actor James Franco and Tom Franco. Just like the other brothers, Franco was born in Palo Alto, California. Although Dave Franco’s earlier dream was to become a teacher, he was guided to attend theater classes by his brother James Franco’s manager.

This marked the beginning of his interest in acting. He began his acting venture by starring in the CW drama television series 7th Heaven in 2006. Although his career began slowly, the actor found his breakthrough by playing the supporting role in the 2021 buddy comedy film 21 Jump Street. Since then the youngest Franco went on to star in various films such as Never, Neighbours, Now You See Me, Now You See Me 2, Fright Night, The Disaster Artist, Day Shift and many more.

Not just acting, Dave Franco also made his directorial debut with The Rental, which starred his wife and actress Alison Brie.

Franco shared his directorship of the Firehouse Art Collective with his late wife Julia Lazar Franco, who passed away in 2014, due to health issues. Currently Tom Franco is married to a film producer named Iris Torres. The two tied the knot in 2021.
