I am a big fan of Micheal Douglas, been watching him since he started on the seventies television series Streets of San Francisco, he has quite the baby face 😉 and also a fan of his father Kirk Douglas, grew up to both of these gentlemen and they are both very talented actors. Micheal Douglas’ list of films in my collecti
on is quite large and I marathon his movies all the time. Also being a big fan of Sean Penn, both are strong actors that totally support each other’s role in this film and work very well together.
