Although his early role as Jeff Spicoli is certainly memorable, Sean Penn has since proven that his work in 1981's Fast Times at Ridgemont High was just the beginning of a brilliant career. With cult status in hand for his turn as the archetypal surfer-stoner, Penn was aware of possible type-casting, and refused offers to play similar Spicoli-esque characters. In fact, Penn made a concerted effort to distance himself from the teen genre altogether, selecting follow-up roles in such films as Bad Boys and The Falcon and the Snowman. With a penchant for gritty roles, Penn's work began to earn critical acclaim in the 1990s. A favorite of the festival circuit, Penn has earned best actor honors from Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. In 1995, Penn scored an Oscar nomination for his leading role in Dead Man Walking. Penn followed with wonderful performances in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown and I Am Sam, both of which earned him well-deserved Oscar nominations for Best Actor. Aside from his acting talents, Penn has played the part of director in The Indian Runner and The Crossing Guard, which starred Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston. Penn - son of director Leo Penn and brother to musician Michael and actor Chris - is married to actress Robin Wright. |
