Sean Penn's Voiceover Actor Refuses to Dub 'Milk'

Brazilian actor Marco Ribeiro, who has dubbed Sean Penn's voice into Portuguese for the films 21 Grams and All the King's Men has refused to help with the Oscar winner's newest film set to hit Brazilian airwaves, Milk.

According to Latina Magazine.
"Ribiero is a pastor in the conservative protestant God's Assembly Church in Rio de Janeiro and as such, felt there was a conflict of interest in giving a voice to legendary Gay Rights advocate Harvey Milk. 'I did not feel comfortable with the job,' Ribeiro admitted to Brazilian media, 'My voice is involved with other causes, and for the same reason I have refused to work on certain types of advertising.' Although Ribeiro denied any homophobic beliefs, he is quoted on the website for his church saying that families with same sex parents are a 'distortion.'"

Some are saying Ribiero is in closet; We don't know for sure. But don't you love how he calls the movie "advertising". If he is gay, it won't be long before he gets pulled out of the closet.
