He never picks movies that people want to see. I don’t think I’ve seen Sean Penn in a movie since Dead Man Walking because the characters he plays just doesn’t interest me. The stories don’t interest me. And honestly, he doesn’t interest me as an actor.
Didn’t they also star together in The Assassination of Richard Nixon? They’re like the new Ryan/Hanks or Hudson/McConaughey.
