Very often the first piece of information we have about a person is their name. It’s often the first thing you learn about someone and we form judgments about people very rapidly. And those judgments accumulate, so the first piece of information is especially important. Even Shakespeare once put it bluntly, "What's in a name?" Apparently, everything. Personally, it had never crossed my mind that James Edward Franco, the famous American actor and filmmaker known for his work in both comedic and dramatic films and TV shows, would be of Portuguese descent, but I have to admit, his surname Franco does have a Portuguese touch to it. After a quick search, I soon found out that he was not only of Portuguese descent, but, check this out, his father Douglas Eugene Franco was of Madeiran descent! It's a small world after all, eh?
