think actors with incredibly strong persona, like Penn, don't do well when they attempt roles very different from what you know is their personality. We tend to see the artifice and think, "Wow, that must have been very hard!"
With good character actors, we are only aware of the character.

But "The Wrestler" is what he's become. Seems pretty much like him.
