James Franco's similarity to James Dean in James Dean was another great feature of the movie. The actor, not only in physical mannerism but also in emotional depth, embodied Dean with near-perfect accuracy. He won many accolades through his portrayal of Dean as a brooding persona in tandem with the passionate and tragic life of the actor. That familiar look and character make the legend come alive, while leaving a big imprint on the fans of Dean and Franco.
