"Quincy Jones sticks out," Foxx said, "because it was not necessarily at the beginning of my career but preparing you for what your career could be."

As for Franco, it was a current comedy legend: "I learned a lot from Seth Rogen and his crew. They create a really collaborative environment, they want to hear everyone’s opinion. The rule is: best idea wins, no matter who it’s coming from."
