The Disaster Artist: James Franco and Tommy Wiseau Pictures

Dave Franco as Greg Sestero and James Franco as Tommy Wiseau

The Franco brothers play the actor friends who make the iconically bad film The Room. Dave plays good-looking "pretty boy" Greg Sestero (Mark in The Room), while Franco takes on the more physically divergent role of Tommy Wiseau (Johnny in The Room).

To see Wiseau and Franco together in real life is to be able to appreciate the physical transformation Franco goes through to play Wiseau. Franco is practically unrecognizable with Tommy's signature long hair and prosthetics to mimic his facial features.

No prosthetics were necessary for Dave Franco to play Greg Sestero — the two actors actually look a lot alike.
