Why isn't there a clip of Mr.Penn when he was in the filthy water of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans rescueing people. He wasn't acting then. Mr.Penn on behalf of the people that you helped to rescue. I said "Thank You" from the bottom of my Heart!!!!!

It was quite an experience working with the whole crew on his up and coming film "In to the wild". We are really glad they chose the location that they did in Alaska. Sean is a very down to earth guy with an eye that captures even the most minute details of a film. It was a pleasure working with such a great crew!

He is a unique talent. People are so used to looking at all the "beautiful people" and confusing many of them as talented beings. He's the real deal!

Sean Penn is a minimally talented, narcissistic ass. In any other venue other than Hollywood entertainment, he would not be able to pull the stunts he has and still have a career. He would most likely be in jail or dead. I really feel for his poor kids.He is a nutcase!

Thank you Sean Penn for visiting our small hometown here in Parker, Arizona. Talking to locals including the Native American people and sharing a beer with some of our Veterans. Thank you for being, as we say, here on the Rez, a real person. Come back anytime and visit.

Sean Penn is an excellent actor, who does not get the hype he should. He plays so many characters, and does not get the recognition he deserves. The movie I am Sam should have won him the oscar, what on earth were the oscar committee thinking giving it to Denzel Washington for playing a bad boy. Sean deserved the oscar, what a remarkable actor.

Sean Penn is "Da Bomb". To even suggest that he is "minimally talented" is insane. Take a deeper look at the movies he has made and the characters he has played, his versatility is just plain awesome! Failure to recognize this probably stems from your own feelings of failure and insignificance.

Sean Penn is an exceptional artist. He even makes a late Woody Allen film sparkle (in "Sweet and Lowdown").
