    seriously though, Fast Times and Ridgemont High was always good. A little before my time, but good T&A action.

    Mystic River too, if that's your thing. Arguably his greatest performance.

    He was like the Ryan Gosling of the 80s. Then he married Madonna, beat the sh-t out of her and sorta faded until Carlito's Way.

    The guy is a repugnant human being but he's arguably the best American actor of his generation. DDL being the GOAT.

    because he's crazy?

    - he beats women
    - allegedly hung a paparazzo by his feet out of a 9th story balcony
    - friends with Castro and Chavez
    - countless other charges assaults and domestic abuse

    he's basically the left winged/non-Marxist version of Mel Gibson.

    oh sorry. I thought you meant Sean Penn himself, lol.

    to answer your question, because it is speculated that I Am Sam pretty much was the beginning of the end of his career.

    plus. you never go full r****d. ask Robert Downy.

    It was exploitive. If you want to see a more honest portrayal of the handicapped, watch Johnny Knoxville's The Ringer. It gives you a good idea of what it is like to be around the mentally disabled.
