Looks like they’re going to have to find a new third stooge. Sean Penn has pulled out of two movies, “Cartel” and “The Three Stooges.” The actor is cancelling his acting gigs to focus on his family.

Sean Penn was to star as Larry in the Farrelly brothers “The Three Stooges” – Jim Carrey will star as Curly and Benicio Del Toro will play Moe. There’s no word yet on whether the studio will wait for Penn or will recast his role.
