Actor Kal Penn took the mickey out of actor Clint Eastwood's empty chair performance art at the GOP/RNC convention with his #SexyFace retort to Clint Eastwood at Democratic National Convention tonight.

Former White House staffer Penn took the podium tonight during the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina, and he dove in to the great good President Obama has given students in debt, doubling Pell Grants and then taking a swipe at Clint Eastwood's RNC address last Thursday.

Penn—who asked tweeters to use #sexyface when referencing his speech on Twitter—noted that his favorite job was working for "a boss who gave the order to take out Bin Laden and who's cool with all of us getting gay married."

Penn also urged everyone to vote.

"We can't turn back now," he said. "I ask all of you young people to join me. You don't even have to put pants on. Go to commit.barackobama.com and register right there."
