James Franco will not be appearing on Grounds on April 17, the University announced Wednesday.
“The University of Virginia President’s Speaker Series for the Arts event featuring actor, writer and filmmaker James Franco that was scheduled for April 17 has been cancelled due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict,” the University said in a press release.
The University said more information about the President’s Speaker Series will be announced in the future.
Franco has appeared in films such as “Pineapple Express,” “127 Hours” and “The Interview.”
In a March 14 release, University President Teresa Sullivan said Franco was selected because of his noteworthy work in the arts and his appreciation for education.
Franco’s appearance would have made him the third speaker in the series, following Tina Fey in 2013 and Kevin Spacey in 2014.
