  • A Bilderberg Group member talking to a known Marxist on Progressive PBS. Gee, I see no problems with this…..

  • Isn't this our time Mr. Hand?

  • Sean Penn for President, with Matt Damon as Vice......these two go nuts because they feel for people, they have brains, and can see that America has been driving down the road of fascism for far too long.

  • @RichardElden What you wish for others will come back to YOU so I'll just sit back and wait.

  • Sean Penn top ten, Marion Brando number one

  • Paul Muni, Sean? Come on. You know you're a Cagney' man!

  • @tamerswan Oh. Well good. Uhm.. as you were.

  • @tamerswan nothing? Geez.. calm down..

  • Sean looks like he is very depressed. He makes me want to cry for him.

  • Sean looks like he is very depressed.

  • To be clear my opinion below may well be wrong about who both the men are. But I have not been without access to first hand impressions of people as I have many friends in the film industry and even went to college with a guy who is a star on top 5 TV show. Just the same I want to make clear I have no beef with either men I simply am sharing my opinion and freely admit that on the presuppositions about both men is not based extensive personal time with either and I could be wrong.

  • IMHO both men are tremendous Actors, I like Brando more as a person because unlike Sean Penn He really gave away and did not care much for the whole fame trip or creating this need for deference around him. I think That Sean Penn on the other hand has always battled with violent anger and self righteousness. On the political front I could relate with Marlon Brando's concerns & reasoning. I couldn't with Sean Penn. In the end I think Sean is more of a tainted hollywood creature and Brando wasn't

  • I dont know this program but this is the very first video when you write Sean Penn...He had become an independent person with his thoughts about politics as a two of the greaters changers of mind and organization Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro. For all the people who thinks he is completely mad and you are not getting profit on it...watch his movies listen to every word that he said in the complete versions dont be lessminded and dont be conformist.

  • is he drunk or just really really sad marlon died?

  • Sean is a liberal douche. Long live Spiccoli!

  • Sean Penn not only is a amazing actor, he has proved to be a phenomenal humanitarian and activist. I love this man for 'who' he is.

    Sean Penn, one of those guys, you wish so many others would follow in his lead.

    Makes one proud.

  • He's a wanna be Marlon Brando. So pretentious.

  • @Tigerlily21 EVERYONE wanted to be Marlon Brando. He's not pretentious, he avoids interviews for a reason, because of people like you who judge him for no reason.

  • @DAVN121 you are so right even elvis wanted to be brando ..also mj

  • @domaro3 Elvis wanted to be black. MJ wanted to be a 3 year old girl.

  • @Tigerlily21 They all wanted to aspire to be like Mr.B because Mr.B is the best. 

  • I've got this buddy of mine who knows that Sean Penn is a huge coke-head. No shit. All those celebrities party.

  • @artmajor1 Wow, nicely said,....

  • @artmajor1 Wow, nicely said,....I heard from a person I knew, who knew some who said you are a douch retard....

  • @makersmark90 What was the point of that?

  • @artmajor1 I believe he would say the same to your comment.

  • @artmajor1 So?

  • @artmajor1  No shit indeed? Like we all aren't aware that an acclaimed/reserved actor wouldn't act differently around his friends in real life? Come on bro

  • Aw man, Dennis Hopper, Marlon Brando and a divorce :(

  • Never go full retard.

  • I wonder what he'd look like without the brown hair dye.

  • WISDOM...ha, what a cock!

  • Hollywood has been ruined by trash. It's a gift that there is talent, personality aside, like Sean Penn that challenges the norm regardless of what people think.

  • This guy's such a phony douche. He puts on a sad face like Brando was such a mentor to him and huge loss. What's he's really doing is trying to draw attention to himself, like he's gonna be the next Brando. He's a no talent hack that beats women. Not to mention he goes on treasonous ventures disguised as "fact finding" missions to Iraq and Venezuela. His version of the "facts" were whatever Hugo Chavez and Saddam said to him when they were wining and dining him. TEAM AMERICA said it all.

  • @bnbmeister  treasonous? back to fox news with ye.

  • @bnbmeister No, hes actually carying on the Brando legacy as far as im concerned. hes an amazing actor, and some of his performances(Mystic River) actually remind me of Brando. saying hes a bad actor just proves what a dumb motherfucker you are.

  • Comment removed

  • HIs best movies imo: 'Falcon and the Snowman' and his role in 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' ... Jeff Spicoli (Cause I knew dudes exactly like Spicoli!).

  • He's in the same league as Deniro and Pacino and Tom Hanks,he's THAT good.

  • @NielDaRebelde Personally, I prefer him above all three of those choices.

  • God, I love this Actor- he is what the real deal is supposed to be - weird, intense, powerful on the screen, POWERFUL actor, a master of the craft, like MARLON BRANDO

    And all the debate re his politics- secondary to his position as ONE OF THE MOST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED LEADING ROLE ACTORs OF HIS GENERATION

  • this dude can't even look people in the eyes for more that a second. he's so into his own world; its no wonder his views are so bizzare. dude needs to get out of 'himself' and his head. weird.

  • Simply touching!

    Sean Penn, best actor of his generation, if not in all Hollywood.

  • sooooo sexy!

  • jerry, you dont understand because you dont know the other side of the story, every story has two sides... go look for it !

  • amazing actor:)

  • you don't ask yourself why he used to beat her??????

  • Fidel Castro is nothing compared to the dictators either put in power or supported by the U.S.

    Your country is stained red with the blood of innocent people.

  • Muni is definetely the most underrated actor of all time.

  • He`s got the kind of face where he constantly looks like he just inhaled a bunch of snot into his throat and is about to spit it out.

  • Get glasses. He is smart and more handsome with age. I guess what you object to is seeing someone with a thought process????

  • I have no criticism of Sean Penn as he is my favourite actor of all time. He pours his whole being into his work and comes out shining. He is willing to lose himself and become who his character is. Not one hair is left behind which is him. I think he looks great and do not agree that he is aging badly. He's gorgeous.

  • @FunNotNuts

    Sean Penn will always be a hero to me and can act so good it puts my jaw to the floor

    With love from New Zealand SEAN!!!!!!!!!

  • 3.53 minutes of talking balls

  • He has aged horribly. Great actor, nonetheless.

  • yea . he has the look of someone who sleeps very little

  • Anthony Hopkins is English not American

  • I think he's Welsh actually

  • Wrong!

    Anthony Hopkins is;

    NOT American

    NOT English

    But WELSH !!!!!!

  • oh for Gods sake no one likes a smartass

    take it to the land of where somebody gives a shit

  • Smoking in the studio?!!! lol!!!!!

  • Both legends.period

  • best living American actors for me are Antony Hopkins and Kevin Spacey...

    And also as an actress: Meryl Streep...

  • kingofskateop either u r dumb or stupid or blind or deaf ....Anthouny hopkins sucked marlon brando's dick thn kevin spacey took the load in the face .

  • Penn looks like he's just stuck his face in a hornet's nest.

  • What!? This is simple clip of an actor in an interview. How do comments come on here that are rude, crude, vulgar and insulting? How does that happen?

  • Paul Muni is the most underappreciated actor in film history.

  • Part of becoming rich and famous is that you (not you per se, but "one" rather because you'll never be rich and/or famous) is that you enter a class of existence that's better than the rest. All you really have to deal with is fat nerds and skinny dorks typing jealous remarks. The celebrity life is good.

  • you have no idea what you're talking about, none.

  • i have a theory about actors like penn!

    Some actors get so lost, so fragmented that they lose the sense of who they really are anymore.

    Then they go off on extreme tangents with extreme veiws and become so detached that they are incapable of empathising with those of us firmly grounded in reality!

    Penn wouldn't know reality if it smacked him in the face, neither would a whole list of other stars!

    Giving weight to their veiws is like asking a psychotic how to fit into society!

  • Wow You Have Too much time to think about other people. Its Sad & Disturbing. Find A Hobby Kid

  • hey eddie,

    does it make you feel good to post comments in my profile about black dudes raping white women?

    wtf is wrong with you?

    i don't care what color you are- you need a good assbeating, and i would love to help you out with that!

    if you are black- you should represent your race better brother!

    I'm curious? what makes you think i'm white anyway?

    The fact that i am literate?

    i wonder how your brothers would feel about your perception of their ignorange?

  • you sound like a freshman psych student

  • "Who they really are" ... tall order. A son to one person, husband to another, etc. I don't know how firmly I'm grounded. I pay my bills, ride my bike, play music. I guess I'm grounded. Commonsense, are you a counselor or therapist? Provocative post/theory... thanks.

  • This dudes values are soooooo off the deep end it baffles me why he isn`t in an asylum. Here we got a situation in Iran right now where protesters are being shot over an election, and I have no doubt that if Bush were still in office this absolute idiot, this actor from nepotism who never worked a real job in his life, would be blaming Bush for that as well. But instead all him and his Hollywood cronies did was blast Bush for trying to fight those psychos. My God I cannot stand this Penn.

  • What ARE you talking About Buddy ? What A Sad American you Are.

  • liberial moron!!!

  • He's A True Fucken Artist . Only the Passionate can appreciate his ART

  • what? whats so good that he made? i can only thnik of one and i cant remember the name. he aint shit. just another idiot lib.

  • i admire sean penn's work, but he doesn't seem like he's that pleasant of a guy.

    lots of actors are like that though. not that i know any film actors, but you know what i'm getting at. acting onstage is the only way to act anyway.

  • I'm not really just talking about this interview, I'm talking in general. He is like this all the time.

  • Paul Muni?? JAMES CAGNEY!

  • Paul Newman

  • he said Paul Newman?? Well, that's better. But i could swear he said Muni.

  • Yes, you're right. I sounds like Muni :-)

  • lol "he was a poem." this interview is a lesson in method acting.

  • Lay off for Christ's sakes, did you read the info box. This is after Marlon Brando, his friend and possibly even mentor has died.

    I guess you'll have to excuse him if he's a little shook up.

  • This guy takes himself too damn seriously. Life is only this serious because he makes it this way.

  • Yep, I don't think he is a very happy person, and I think he thinks he is better than he is.

  • i dont either and dont want to know. the new president a friend of shawn's wrote it, bho

  • Too bad Charlie didn`t ask him how he feels about nepotism and how some people never have to hold real jobs in the lives thanks to their parents, and how that makes them feel they have the intellect above everyone else about politics.

  • Too bad some people are jealous, no-talent hacks who have to beat their heads against the wall in dead-end jobs and forever feel angry about it, thus having to lash out at those better than them. Too bad! How many Oscars have you won?

  • I dance naked to the Charlie Rose theme song.

  • is he drunk?

  • Always

  • charlie rose or sean penn lol

  • A poem by BHO,

    Under water grottos, caverns

    Filled with apes

    That eat figs.

    Stepping on the figs

    That the apes

    Eat, they crunch.

    The apes howl, bare

    Their fangs, dance . .

  • that's pretty good poetry -- don't know what it means,but i was saying it aloud,and i likes it!

  • The US has a population that is higher than 300 million. Anyone who would try to catagorize American citizens as one group, as "you people," is really not very bright. I am so sick of people from other countries making assumptions about all of us. Get over yourself, unless you have spent many years here, in different parts of the country, with different cultures, and different socioeconomic classes then stop trying to pretend that you know anything about "Americans."

  • true.

  • Truest shit any American has EVER said. Kudos, dude.

  • You people go off and attack two countries and then have the glib retarded attitude that you have? Yr as stupid as the world thinks you are!

  • love his acting, dubious about his politics.

  • hard to imagine sean penn joking around with a "friend"...doesn't seem to have a lighter side

  • dude, the guy was together with madonna for a really long time

  • I think Sean was just tired. He is my favourite actor. A true alchemist. Can turn a turd into gold.

  • I love sean but i think he was dipping in the sauce before this interview.

  • i'll never forget hoffman in midnight cowboy

  • Sean Penn is not only an extraordinary actor but a fantastic human being as well! He is one of these people that makes us to like America and its citizens and all the best America has to offer to the world. His artistic contribution as well as political is extraordinary!. Thanks San Peen that you exist and is part of our lives. It makes us to believe in humanity. Cheers from Brazil!

  • Why do some people diss Sean?? He is a good person, to aid Hurricane Katrina victims.

  • this guy is a caricature of himself. i think he needs antidepressents. he only smiles when he is acting. actors are by nature narcissistic, and i think his worship of brando is just a projection of that.

  • Why?

    I think what he's saying is really the truth. It's about human experience. It's about life, about wisdom.

    I think he sees things as they really are. Simple as that.

  • Hey can anyone post his 2007 Oscar win speech? Just watched "The Interpreter" which was a good movie,and it was Kidman who gave him his award.

    Thanks!

  • looks like hoffman

  • Do I agree with Sean Penn.....Nope.

    A Hollywood Icon....If you believe he's an icon.

    Me, not an Icon.

  • Man, he looks tired. Destroyed, almost.

  • This guy moves me, and so does his wife. I love them both. I think they are really passionate. They stand for something, humanity!

    The last poster is an idiot.

    Sex is natural, and sometimes people want to have it with different people. Doesn't mean they should be judged by a natural thing that people do.

    He has passion!

  • Wtf is your problem??? If you have a problem against this guy, fine, maybe youre entitled to it. Eventhough he has opposed the current war from day 1 and is probably the only decent actor that gives a damn about human life. But wtf was that crap about Brando? Honestly... Whats wrong about Brando? He was a great pacifist, humanist, and a lovely guy to read about. He was the greatest thing that ever happened to acting.

  • @obliviouspet "probably the only decent actor that gives a damn about human life"

    thats a joke he openly supports brutal dictators

  • @randomnoone Like who ? Hugo Chavez ? He doesnt quote on quote SUPPORT Chavez, he just opposed western media demonizing him solely because of economic competition, and his stubborn ways of opposing western influence. Sean penn is a leftist, theres no secret in that. Besides, healthcare in Venezuela and Cuba is MUCH better than it is in America. Perhaps not in quality, but deffinately in quantity, which is more important to satisfy the masses in their needs, when a country is in a poor state.

  • well we all gotta go sometime and i really dont care. We all started out the same, and i think to myself "can i remember when i was in my mothers womb?" no i cant. None of us can, that it was death is. Death = peace. We're all lucky to be here since we where picked from like a million other sperms. Im taking it too far now but think about it. It's not that bad. The hard part is the ones around you.

  • He looks as if he cried for four weeks on end, then pulled himself together to be interviewed... Poor guy seems so painfilled.

  • Aww, come on, dont be so mean. The guy did some pretty good work. Hes no Brando, i know, but come on. U might disagree, but these works make me think of him as a great actor: -carlitos way *** -dead man walking *** (amazing) -u turn -shes so lovely *** -the thin red line -i am sam *** -mystic river -the assassination of richard nixon *** -21 grams *** (great performance) -all the kings men I have a feeling u dislike him for political reasons though, am i correct?
  • he also did falconer and the snowman,

    the stoner sufer dude which was brillant

    hes been a great presence of american arts and continues to be so, arts

  • A rare breed!

  • God bless you, Sean, for your passion in all things and for your love and passion towards your deceased friend, Marlon Brando.

  • Sean Penn and Marlon Brando were friends??!! I thought Brando was such a recluse.

    Did these two ever make a movie together?

  • I think this guy loves his country... the US. thats why he cares so much. he doesnt talk gainst americans... just against a leader he doesnt believe in.

    By the way they dont cut ur head in iran. lol

  • He seems so hurt by Brando's passing, imagine what he must have gone through losing his brother.

    :(

    RIP both Marlon Brando and Chris Penn

  • how did chris penn die he was one of my favs

  • like lots of Americans sean probably does not "hate" America, he does not like what it has become, this used to be a great country, the actions of a few bankers and a few rich families control our country and facilitate atrocities in the "American" name and that pisses me off too.

  • I understand if someone doesn't agree with some or all of our policies, But just like in the Falcon and the Snowman, they were told," their is different ways to protest". Don't go and kiss up to Americas foes.

  • america has always been a scam artist country, penn and others need a deeper understanding of history

    george washington was a scoundrel so were the founding fathers

    Canada penned the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

    its a better country, more humane

    americans are just greedy and selfish, its just the way it is

    its been that way forever, there is no great golden period of US history

    that doesnt mean that us haters are correct, many are just as bad

  • I do not at all understand what you are talking about. A scam artist country? The entire country in all its people, since the begining of its unity until the present day? The totality of people? Clearly you are not making an effort at precise communication. A mere adverb would have at least partly clarified what you meant. As well, what is up with your comparison? What is there some rivalry going on between canadian artists and those in america? What do you want to say?

  • bla bla bla, another negative comment, be happy motherfucker!

  • robopad, this youtube video is not the place to air your political outrage.

  • Hello...this is a free country. Please, tell me again what people in the past and today have died for. I would like for it not to be because you think u tube is not the place for comments...what in the world...nevermind, lost cause.

  • robopad;Tell ya what you jerk, I served my country for 12 years in the military and I agree totally with Sean Penn...and he/I have a right to our opinions guaranteed under the Contstitution!! So maybe since you don't support our right to free speech....don't let the door hit you in the ass!!

  • Marlon Brando would laugh at being talked about like this. That's what made him so special.

  • Penn is awesome in Thin Red Line

  • Brando loved Penn. Check out "AT CLOSE RANGE" and you'll see why.

    GOOD STUFF.

  • FUCK YOU

  • As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

    zen.

  • Sean penn, the best american actor; nous, en france,nous t´adorons!

  • I think he is a great actor. But he isn't to clever.

  • spelling: 'too' clever...

  • I am working on a screenplay for a bio on Brando starring Sean Penn. I went to college for screenwriting but dropped out. But I know what I am doing. If you are interested in this idea, creatively or financially, write me at:

  • Exactly opposite Sea Penn is exactly THE ONE who could be portraying Marlon. Equale can be recognized by equal , only.

  • I love Sean Penn, but Mickey Rourke does seem to be from the Brando and Dean school. Even in junk like Out in Fifty, Rourke can be mesmerizing. Like Penn, he may not have as much range as Johnny Depp, but the guy is eternally interesting. He was on a pretty good roll in the 80s, but his best post-Angel Heart role might be Bullet, with Adrien Brody and Tupac.

  • Penn is 1 of the best screen actors of the past 20 years. Fast times, state of grace, Falcon & the snowman, at close range, carlitos way, dead man walking, mystic river, i am sam, sweet & lowdown prove it. I like that he talks about Brando, & his art in interviews,however his political views do not determine mine. I prefer to seek out people who, maybe, know about these things.Why get worked up about an actor who wants to share his political views? If you don't like it, move on...ok?

  • Completely agree. Best Brando..if you want to say "CLONE"...for lack of a better word....actor out there. See "At Close Range". It lines up well with "Streetcar"....Brando loved Penn.

    I can see why....

  • mlex ur a dumbass. sean penn is fucking badass. ur shit's weak. WIZ EEEEK.

  • Sean Penn is brilliant !

  • Sean Penn looks like the devil!
