<p><font size="6" color="#FF9900"><b>T</b></font>hroughout his career, Sean Penn has been attracted to characters who get hung up in the pursuit of sensation. In one of his first roles, he played the dope-headed student in <i>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</i> who orders a pizza to be delivered while a high school class is still in progress. In <i>Falcon and the Snowman</i>, he played a drug dealer who indulges freely in his own goods while also selling government secrets to the Russians. In <i>Casualties of War</i>, he played a solider who, during the pressures of battle, succumbs to the basest of desires and rapes and murders a woman. Penn certainly isn't interested in playing heroes.
