- Sean Penn used to be Hollywood's surliest young actor, but
- that's no longer true, since Penn is neither an actor nor all
- that surly anymore. He's given up acting, and fighting
- photographers, to focus on directing, and the switch from
- smashing cameras to sitting behind one suits him just fine.
- "Directing is seeing an original vision all the way through,"
- says Penn, whose impressive debut film, The Indian Runner, opens
- this week. "I don't want to act again unless it's for money I
- can put into directing." The new Penn can even joke about his
- stormy marriage to Madonna. Last week he told David Letterman,
- "That was only a rumor. She and I never met."
