Val Kilmer doesn't have an Oscar, unlike his old Julliard classmate Sean Penn — but he's better looking.

Kilmer says he was turned down for a role in a college play that ultimately went to Penn — but he didn't mind at all, reports The Boston Herald. Because the note he got from the director explained that Val was "too strong and good-looking" for the part! "So we used to rib each other," Kilmer says.

"During the run-up to the play, Sean Penn made the cover of Rolling Stone with the title 'The Next James Dean.' He put it on my door. So I Xeroxed the letter from the director and put it on his door. I addressed it: 'Dear 'Weak and Ugly,' Glad you were on Rolling Stone. Suck on this.' "
