Harmony Korine’s new film Spring Breakers sees James Franco testing his own versatility, seemingly writing his own autobiography as he lives it by playing both Allen Ginsberg (in Howl) and a (supposed) parody of Riff Raff within just a couple of years of each other. And now Riff Raff looks set to turn the tables on Franco by portraying a mock version of the actor on an episode of U.S TV show One Life To Live.

The soap opera, which ran for over 40 years on ABC before becoming a web-series recently, will recruit the rapper for a cameo where he’ll play a Miami art-dealer called ‘Jamie Franko’.

Filming for the episode was shot yesterday (11 April) and will air come 7 May on Hulu.
