Penn's cameo in the 1987 noir drama / action flick Tough Guys Don't Dance (based on director Norman Mailer's novel). Interesting movie, to put it mildly-- severely 80s camp mixed with a surreal and complicated detective / "horror" story. It's been referred to as "simultaneously funny and haunting", and I think that puts it well.

Anyways it was quite a trip & treat to see Penn Jillette in this role as a creepy, wife-swapping, hypocritical preacher.

  • If you saw Penn on DWTS you know he CAN'T DANCE. In retrospect the title of the movie is ironic!

  • @wendl15 I think he's a fine dancer- much better than me, although I haven't put as much time and effort into it as he has. If you've ever heard him go on about how he cries at just about every movie he sees, you know he's not exactly a tough guy :)

  • We take a quick look and we tu-*SEX* Last night, I had a dream.

  • Yes. If you see the movie, you'll notice the sex scene happens just before Penn's scene. That's just how it came out when I edited that first scene and Penn's scene together. No need to worry though- there is no real nudity in that shot, i.e., at the end of the sex scene in the movie.
