SOME, few, very good actors, such as Ben Kingsley, can play parts and find and present the character as written, or as actually existed.
Others like Sean Penn. Does not matter the part...it is ALWAYS Sean Penn on the screen.

Christopher Walken is always Christopher Walken.

But that does work for Sean Penn in many of his roles. Go rewatch The Thin Red Line, a lot of what both Caveizel and Penn brought to their roles was themselves, and their on-screen conflict was only a little bit fabricated becaus they really did butt heads with their incompatible outlooks on life. I found that particularly powerful and eye opening.
