Ive seen both movies and thought sean penn's performance was better. I thought the wrestler was flawed and Mickey was basically playing himself, a former star who flushed it away, just change the profession from actor to wrestler, sean penn was the anti sean penn in his role as milk and was 100% convincing. To each their own. If you want to talk about robbed then look no further then cheswick from cuckoos nest, that guy should get an oscar every year for that role
