@holledavidson405 2 года назад

I lived in Malibu and went to elementary school with Sean and his brother Chris (who sadly passed away at a young age). His parents were amazing people and in the business as many kids parents were in Malibu - and my parents enjoyed their company at school and community functions. It's fun to hear him talk about his youth in Malibu because I understand exactly what he is talking about i.e. walking to school without stepping on concrete because it was so rural, the guy who he based Jeff Spiccoli on (no I'm not sure which local surfer that was haha I could think of a few). I remember the exact moment that I found out he was going to be in "Fast Times" - My older brother and I were going to Cal Poly state U. and he came over to my house with a National Lampoon magazine and had it opened to the full page movie ad - and it was Sean. We were so psyched and happy for him. The rest is history - one of my all time favorite actors. He just nails his roles every time. I think it's time for a Sean Penn film festival!!

The Gunman

@jefferyvnelson7144 8 месяцев назад

My favorite actor of all time! Every movie he does is a five star!

@jasonlee3759 2 года назад

Hurly-burly is one of my all-time Sean Penn Performances layered but also very stripped down and honest no strings attached

@scottdonaldson9451 2 года назад

Even Taps would have been interesting to hear his take on it…

@robertsole9970 2 года назад

with Tom Cruise....

@scottdavidson526 2 года назад

Yes

@TA-to7kt 2 года назад

I can't believe his role in 'The Falcon and the Snowman' wasn't included here. One of his most incredible performances.

@lauriesolonka2477 Год назад

That's my favorite, " The Falcon And The Snowman" is a great movie. ( I love the soundtrack, that was my introduction to The Pat Metheny Group 😁❤️)

@sillysausage72 2 года назад

One of the best (one of my favorite) actors and directors of all time. At Close Range and Bad Boys are two of my all time favorite films.

@sherrig.7870 2 года назад

State of Grace & At Close Range are my faves. Just amazing!

@leanajo754 Год назад

One of the greatest actors in true story movies.

@gonzalez7935 2 года назад

This man resume is so impressive that I think maybe 5 or 6 actors of his generation can match it.

@jondoe5305 2 года назад

Which 5 or 6 ?

@ht-si1lr 2 года назад

@@jondoe5305 I would have said 6 or 7. Maybe 6 or 6, ya know ya know

@gonzalez7935 2 года назад

w Denzel, daniel day Lewis, Tom Hanks, tom cruise, mel Gibson, Jack Nicholson

@@gonzalez7935 definitely above Tom cruise , Jack Nicholson is more in Pacino and deniros era

Sean’s acting has given us so much . I find myself cheering him on and admire his humanitarianism ❤️🌎🥰 as well

He needs to moisturise

@isaac_alexander_v 2 года назад

Sean Penn comes to mind every time I hear actors say they don’t want to be typecast. I can’t think of another actor who gives a different look with each role.

@Patriot66699 3 месяца назад

Just watched this again, an absolute fantastic movie, awesome cinematography and the best musical score unbelievable (mystic river)

@jenflora4645 Год назад

I have had a crush on him since I was little. My favorite actor by far!! Yes he needed like 2 hours of this interview

@nathanaelreyes5854 2 года назад

I wish he’d mentioned The Interpreter. That’s a criminally underrated film and he was fantastic in it along with Nicole Kidman.

@rikjamesguitare 2 года назад

Agree. Of all of Penn's roles, I'd put the Interpreter easily in his top 5 best. But surely for me, Mystic River was his best, SAME with Robbins.

@Cutay7BOOTAY Месяц назад

Fast Times is still one my favorite roles of his. I knew a “Spicolli” at my high school lol

@vgshwk 2 года назад

Thank you for the reflections Sean some actors look down on their early roles.

@lkf8799 2 года назад

I know! Joseph Gordon Levitt did one of these and bashed 10 Things I Hate About You and I thought: What a pretentious douche. 🥺😥😬😮‍💨 My favorite Sean Penn role is The Interpreter. He was sooo good.

@marcianodemidof7135 2 года назад

Sean Penn 🙏🏾 Most definitely one of the greats on the silver screen. Soo many great films with this magnificent actor.

@alcottdevalte7440 2 года назад

Penn gave really great advices, brilliant. Surprised that Bad Boys wasn't brought up, which is a masterpiece.

@ramirorodriguez9671 2 года назад

Underrated

@diontownsend3895 2 года назад

Yes bad boys is how I became a fan of his I didn't see fast times until I got to be a little older when they would show it like crazy on HBO n the late 80s early 90s

@edkeaton7242 2 года назад

I'm surprised that a number of his roles didn't get brought up for discussion. He's acted with some of the best in the business, and had managed to win two Academy Awards during his illustrious career.

@rayc6452 Год назад

Great interview. Or hypothesis of his characters. Brilliant.

@rbrb3625 Год назад

Thanks to Sean ! ! ! -especially for The Joyful Archetype~~~ JEFF SPICCOLI ! ! ! His scenes with Judge Reinholdt and with Ray Wilson were truly and fully human ! ! !
