"Found a bunch of old scripts from some of my first years trying to be an actor," Penn wrote before sharing pieces of scripts in a series of tweets. "They were awful. 'Can you make his accent a little more AUTHENTIC?' That usually meant they wanted Apu."
The character Penn referenced was named "Careem," who was described as having a "slight Hindi accent."
Apu is an Indian animated character on "The Simpsons."
