SEAN PENN In a career spanning over two decades, Sean Penn has become an American film icon. He has been nominated three times for the Best Actor Academy Award, for his performances in Jessie Nelson’s I am Sam, Woody Allen’s Sweet and Lowdown, and Tim Robbins’ Dead Man Walking. The latter two performances also earned him Golden Globe Award nominations, and he received a third Golden Globe Award nomination for his work in Brian De Palma’s Carlito’s Way. He has also received two SAG Award nominations (for I am Sam and Dead Man Walking). Penn made his feature film acting debut in 1981 in
Harold Becker’s Taps. In 1982, he entered the pop-culture lexicon
with his portrayal of Jeff Spicoli in Amy Heckerling’s Fast
Times at Ridgemont High. |

Joanou’s State of Grace, David Fincher’s The Game, and Anthony
Drazan’s screen version of hurlyburly (for which he was named
Best Actor at the 1998 Venice International

Penn expanded his role in the filmmaking process with the creation of his own production company, Clyde Is Hungry FilThrough this company, he has produced and costarred in Erin Dignam’s Loved, executive-produced and starred in Nick Cassavetes’ She’s So Lovely (for which he was named Best Actor at the 1997 Cannes International Film Festival), starred in Oliver Stone’s U Turn, and produced and directed the critically acclaimed The Pledge, starring Jack Nicholson. His feature film directorial debut was 1991’s The Indian Runner, which he also wrote and produced. His next film as director, 1995’s The Crossing Guard, featured acclaimed portrayals by Jack Nicholson, David Morse, and Anjelica Huston (who received Golden Globe Award and SAG Award nominations for her performance). Most recently, Penn wrote and directed the United
States’ contribution to the multipart feature 11’09”01.
The project brought together 11 directors from around the world to
