It’s hard being the younger brother in a family, especially when your older brother is more famous and successful than you are. This is the case with the 29 year old Dave Franco, whose older brother James’ movies have been much more successful. James has also become a bona fide leading man and not just a supporting actor as Dave has been and James was even once nominated for an Oscar.
