#2. He Studied Theater and Movies as a Teen
After his father died, Franklin put himself into academics but soon realized that he was passionate about movies and theater.

At the tender age of 15, Franklin assisted his uncle at church and preached his first sermon. He graduated in 2000 from the University of Southern California with a business administration major and a minor in cinema/television. He is now a well-known preacher and motivational speaker with many books to add to his credentials.
