For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm sure it was an affectionate jibe. People like Chris Rock know the score - you can't afford to turn down work if you're an actor. On the other hand, though Penn might have been a bit pofaced, he's probably reacting to the fact that comics such as Rock get on the fast track into Hollywood when they can't always act.
Recently five of Law's films were released in in as many months in Britain and probably in the US too. That sort of thing does tend to undermine an actor's star quality. I'm sure all four of them bombed.
Jude Law's a good actor all right; I saw him (naked) on stage at the Royal National Theatre several years ago and he was excellent. Don't underestimate him; his time is only just starting.
