Ahhh, Sean. You are a thespian. And a darn good one in certain roles. Stick to it. Incidentally, The Who were an OK band in their time--which was mine as well--but I can tell you they shared the spotlight with some pretty powerful bands or equal and often greater talent.

I know they are used for the themes to the CSIs but what else? Thirdly, actors should have opinions. It makes them more than monkeys. And don't diss the craft of acting, cairnhowff, it's harder and more consuming than anything most people do ever.

Talented. Very talented. Visit the shrink.
Ah Sean
I do love him as an actor
But insulting the who was most definately not cool.
They were an amazing band.
Someone should send Sean one of The Who's classic albums, which actuall is titled "The Who Sell Out"

We like actors becasue they can act...thats make-believe for you young ones. So Penn can do make-believe really well, but that doesn't mean he has any capacity for philosophy or political comment...he's just so much meat that directors put in costumes and position so the director can shoot a scene, and then edit the idiotic crap the actors do so it looks good.
