Career
When his father, Leo, produced any of the episodes, Penn appeared in a 1974 episode of the Little House on the Prairie television show as an extra. Penn began his film career with the action-drama Taps (1981), where he served as a military high school cadet. He appeared in the hit comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), as surfer-stoner Jeff Spicoli; his character helped popularize the term "dude" in popular culture a year later. In the drama Bad Boys (1983), Penn appeared as Mick O'Brien, a troubled youth. Penn's role earned him rave reviews and accelerated his career as a serious actor.
In the film The Falcon and the Snowman (1985), which closely followed an actual criminal case, Andrew Daulton Lee played Andrew Daulton Lee. Lee was convicted of espionage for the Soviet Union and was first sentenced to life in jail, but was released in 1998. Lee was later hired by Penn as his personal assistant, partially because he wanted to honor Lee for his role in the film; however, Penn was also a firm believer in recovery and thought Lee should be reintegrated into society since he was a free man.
Penn appeared in the drama At Home Range (1986), which received critical acclaim. He stopped acting in the early 1990s due to being dissatisfied with the job, and concentrated on making his directorial debut.

In an adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's classic 1946 American book All the King's Men (2006), Penn portrayed governor Willie Stark (based on Huey Long).

In November 2008, Penn received raves for his portrayal of real-life politician and gay rights icon Harvey Milk in the film Milk (2008), and he was nominated for Best Actor for the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards. Penn also received his fifth nomination and second award for Best Actor in the Academy Awards. Joseph C. Wilson, his wife, Valerie Plame, was outed as a CIA agent by Bush advisor Scooter Libby in retaliation for an article in which Wilson denied debunking Bush's assertion that Iraq was building a nuclear bomb as a valide for occupying the area. The film is based on Plame's 2007 memoir Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House.
He co-starred in The Tree of Life (2011), which won the Palme d'Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.
