Directed by: James Franco
Starring: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Kristen Bell, Alison Brie, Zoey Deutch, Dave Franco, Ari Graynor
Continuity mistake: As the crowd is cheering for Tommy and Greg at on the stage after the premier, Tommy has his sunglasses on his face in a frontal shot. But it cuts to behind them and suddenly his glasses are up on top of his head. (01:33:25)
Trivia: After the credits, there is an additional scene where the real Tommy Wiseau plays a character Henry and comes up to James Franco playing Tommy Wiseau and they have a conversation together. (01:42:10)
Answer: He was a fictional character. However, Apatow says he was playing a version of himself, though he didn't initially realise that when being cast. He claims he is not that bad in real life; his character is also an amalgam of other producers.
