Penn's filmography speaks volumes about his talent, both as an actor and as a businessman willing to take the correct roles.<br /><br />He's not as good looking as Young, though. Even now. Maybe it's a guy thing.Bit Part Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190704883240544188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-19467038292404698812011-05-26T01:00:04.742-04:002011-05-26T01:00:04.742-04:00Big differences between the two, I think.

I think not.<br /><br />I first noticed Penn in "Taps" as someone to keep an eye on (though Tom Cruise in the same film didn't inspire me much). Sean Penn has a controversial image but, at least for me, that doesn't detract, really, from his enormous talent. He also has political opinions. These things, it seems, have opened him up to ridicule.<br /><br />Penn's turns in "Fast Times...," "Bad Boys" and "Racing with the Moon" were noteworthy career builders...along with "The Falcon and the Snowman," again with Timothy Hutton (star of "Taps"). And his performance, a supporting role, in "Carlito's Way" (he nailed Alan Dershowitz, Esq.) was brilliant.<br /><br />Sean Penn has won two Academy Awards, Sean Young, two Razzies. No comparison.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.com
