The Film and TV Buffs vs Southern California Team

The start date is the 60th birthday of Sean Penn, widely regarded as the greatest actor of his generation, and a proven humanitarian too. One of the rarities to win two Oscars, for Mystic River in 2003 and Milk in 2008, he also recently graced TV screens in the excellent series The First. Born and raised in Santa Monica, his family later moved into Los Angeles. In later life he lost a home in Malibu to the forest fires of 1993 and in later years he has moved to Marin County for the sake of his children and to distance them from Hollywood life. We believe a match should be held in his honour and hope you will accept
