A two-time Academy Award winner for Best Actor, he delivered a career-defining performance as a grief-stricken father in Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River (2003) and portrayed gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk in Milk (2008). Beyond his legendary screen presence, Penn is equally famous for his volatile personal life and fearless political activism, from relief efforts in Haiti to his 2023 documentary on Ukraine.
