Re: Rico, what about "I am Sam", too?

Three roles out of a career that spans 25 years. But perhaps I should not use range of roles as a factor in looking at Sean Penn's career. After all, between 1915 and 1936, how many different roles did Chaplin play? (Although what Chaplin did and what Penn does today are two vastly different things). Sean Penn just lost me somewhere in the mid 80s. He has done some things that have interested me since. But they are just moments, flashes here and there. One could have said the same thing about Brando at one time. But then Brando did "Reflections of a Golden Eye," "Candy," "The Nightcomers," (the last two not good films but very good performances in them) and a couple of other films we all know about.
Penn is not an actor I look forward to seeing in a movie at this time. But who knows what is around the pike? "All the King's Men" might be interesting to see, and as a Louisiana resident who remembers the end of the Long/anti-Long days, I want to see it. As I said, Penn hopefully has years to go to give many performances and reignite my earlier opinion of his work.
