I loved him in Footloose, that was such a cute role he played. He has been very good in other movies as well. At Close Range with his brother Sean, was actually a pretty good movie. As obnoxious as Sean Penn is, he is a good actor as well.
That is a good movie. Of course, Christopher Walken is golden. Sean Penn is good if the part suits him, which shows his limited range. He was good in At Close Range, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Bad Boys with Esai Morales.
Sean's best role.
Sean Penn was good in "Carlito's Way" with Al Pacino.
