No, no. Think of it this way. You get Sean Penn the actor (and I do think he is a great actor) without Sean Penn the asshat, loudmouthed moron who knows nothing about the world but uses his prominence in media to tell the rest of us that which he does not understand. You separate the artistic performance from the individual, and viola.
I understand it is creating a conniption for SAG-AFTRA, etc., but it is happening, sooner or later. Maybe even a re-animated John Wayne.

"John Wayne was a fag!"
