Sean Penn
By Patrick Kevin Day

The best actor winner has completed production on writer-director Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life.” Penn plays a man who grew up in the Midwest in the 1950s coming to grips with his past. Brad Pitt, whom Penn beat in the best actor race, co-stars. And according to Variety, Penn is in talks to play another real-life character, this time as Ambassador Joseph Wilson in a biopic of the Valerie Plame spy incident with director Doug Liman.
