He is best known for portraying an incarnation of Bob Dylan, who calls himself "Woody Guthrie", in the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There, written and directed by Todd Haynes; for this role, he was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male. Franklin is seen as a young hobo, hitching rides on freight trains, while clutching a guitar case bearing the inscription "This machine kills fascists" (this inscription adorned the guitar of Woody Guthrie).
