On Sunday, Dec. 5, Penn will conduct a Q&A at DGA with Biutiful star Javier Bardem and director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu. It's hosted by SAG Film Society.
What is Penn doing in this boldface-name-infested international touring circus? He hates this stuff. "He's never been big on press," says Penn's Fair Game costar Naomi Watts. "He's got tunnel vision ... Right now he's focused on Haiti, and that's what he cares about. Promoting films is never what he's been interested in. He doesn't do a lot, ever. If I was as good as Sean Penn, maybe I could get away with it. I've got a bit more to learn. He's so brilliant nobody cares. It's the hardest part of the job, promoting movies. For some people, it's awkward and difficult to attempt to sell something."

Penn did show up at the 21 Grams premiere in Venice so his absence from Fair Game is indeed somewhat puzzling, if not unfortunate.
He is one of the greatest actors on earth. A great person.
