Apparently at some stage, actor James Franco was in the frame for the show's lead character Jesse Custer, who is played by Dominic Cooper.

Goldberg explained: "We had a nice conversation with James Franco at one point. He looks very Jesse-ish. He was into it but just literally he has to make 4,000 things in 20 different formats. It would take up his time and he wouldn't be able to do a Tori Spelling movie or whatever the hell he was going to do."

Rogen added: "[Franco] was dangling from a crane in Venice at the time so he couldn't work us in. I think that was even before, that was in a very preliminary phase."

Though Franco certainly would have made a great castmember on the show, Cooper has been perfect as Jesse Custer.

Preacher season 1 concludes this Sunday, July 31 in the US on AMC. The season can also be seen in the UK on Amazon Video.
