Top 10 Movie Drug Dealers
#8
Saul Silverplayed by James Francoin Pineapple Express (2008)
A stoner so perma-baked he makes Cheech and Chong look like girl scouts, Pineapple Express Saul Silver is one dealer who blatantly likes to mix business and pleasure. James Franco picked up a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Saul, dealer of the titular drug, who is forced to go on the run after his slacker buddy, and best customer, Dale (Seth Rogen) witnesses a murder committed by the awesome Gary Coles evil drug lord. With Seth Rogen playing practically the same character hes played in every film since The 40 Year Old Virgin, it is left to Franco to steal the show as the bunny-in-the-headlights Saul, hes nervous, vulnerable and likeable which in a movie chocked full of ill-conceived, extremely unlikeable characters is a great achievement. Franco got his break in Judd Apatows short-lived cult comedy Freaks and Geeks alongside many Apatow regulars (Rogen, Jason Segel, Martin Starr) and if Pineapple Express is any indication, he should dip his toe in the comedy pool more often.
