Penn advocates for casting based on personal stories over sexual orientation to preserve artistic expression. Limiting opportunities under the guise of diversity hampers creativity and imagination in the film industry.
Penn emphasizes the importance of being open to all individuals, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation, who have compelling stories to share. He finds limiting casting choices akin to an attack on creativity and imagines the unimaginative who propose such constraints.
Penn expresses discontent with the trend of limiting roles based on specific characteristics, deeming it culturally offensive and noting that he wouldn't be allowed to portray Harvey Milk in present times. He finds the practice restrictive and lacks nuanced understanding of acting.
