Sean Penn discusses "Milk" and his Best Actor win in the SAG Awards press room
In a classy follow-up to his rather awesome acceptance speech, Sean Penn spoke about his decision to take the role of Harvey Milk after his Best Actor win at Sunday night's SAG Awards, and made special mention of gay director Gus Van Sant, whom he credited with making the film work and whom he called "incapable of making an irrelevant film". He also spoke about having Harvey's friends and colleagues on-set and how the experience was a shared one for everyone. But my favorite moment is right at the start when, after a journalist asks if he had any reservations about taking the role because of the material, he simply says, "No." Here's the full video.
