Sean Penn & Star-Studded Cast to Lead 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' Table Reading

A star-studded virtual table reading of the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High is taking place next week and it’s going to be great!

The 1982 movie starred Sean Penn, was directed by Amy Heckerling, and was written by Cameron Crowe. While Sean will be participating in the table reading, he will not be reprising his role as Jeff Spicoli.

Dane Cook is presenting the “Feelin’ A-Live” fundraiser to benefit the emergency relief nonprofit CORE, which was co-founded by Sean, as well as the criminal justice reform organization REFORM Alliance.

The cast will include Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, Henry Golding, Shia LaBeouf, and Morgan Freeman. More casting will be announced soon and the roles they’re playing won’t be revealed until the event takes place.

“On behalf of our dedicated team at CORE, I’m so appreciative of the support Dane has given and continues to give to our work. I’m always game for a giggle. So, to gather remotely for a night of laughs with so many talented folks while providing CORE with much-needed resources to continue our vital work, then consider us fully onboard to play!” Sean said in a statement.

The event will stream live on Facebook on Thursday (August 20) at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.
