Sean Penn

Actor, director, and now goodwill ambassador to the leadoff hitter on team Axis of Evil, Penn appeared recently on Larry King Live. When King asked Penn if he hesitated to go to Iraq because he has children, Penn replied, "I went because I have children." I guess we've established one thing-- Sean Penn's kids annoy him. 72% of those polled who saw Penn's appearance on Larry King thought that he was a traitor and an embarrassment to humanity. The remaining 28% thought the same thing about Penn.  Penn's father, Leo, was blacklisted during the 50's. Sean should be proud to know that those of us at Celebrity Dossier helping him follow in his fathers footsteps.

Quote: "Part of my concern is being duped by a media perspective that saturates us every day."

Anti-quote: How come the film industry is the only profession in which actors ever tolerate "artistic license"?

Pluses: Beats up photographers who have with nothing better to do than stand outside Spago trying to get a shot of Dennis Franz slaughtering linguini.

Minuses: If all the rest didn't tip you off to the man's mental state, he also married Madonna.

Rating: Bores people easily. Not dynamic and always looks like he's spent the afternoon in a phone booth with Tommy Chong. The Penn is not mightier than the snore. "S" = low

Fun fact: When everyone in Baghdad referred to him by the name of a character he played in a film, Penn was thrilled that they recognized him from his American movie career. Lucky for him he left town before learning that "Spicoli" is Sorani for "brain the size and consistency of a seed in a camel dropping."
