RadioTimes.com<\/a>, the actor said the experience of working with Penn \u2013 who plays Attorney General John N Mitchell \u2013 is not unlike how Al Pacino must have felt working with Marlon Brando on The Godfather.<\/p> \u201cWhen you first see him, it\u2019s so well done by Kazu [Hiro, make-up artist],\u201d he began. \u201cI mean, he is two-time Oscar-winning, just recently, because he\u2019s a master at what he does. And so when you see him at the start\u2026 It was pretty transformative.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main thing with Sean is, when I was a kid, I had Sean\u2019s poster on my bedroom wall, of Spicoli [in Fast Times at Ridgemont High] and of [1983\u2019s] Bad Boys,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve worked with him before and I\u2019ve been around him a little bit, but I never get used to how great he is. I remember hearing Pacino talk about The Godfather, acting with Brando at the beginning of that, and how unsettling that was.<\/p>\n
