Test4VitalSigns Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060125/people_nm/penn_dc LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Chris Penn has died in a Santa Monica residence, with no signs of foul play, a local ABC television affiliate reported on Tuesday. Penn, 43, was the brother of actor Sean Penn and starred in dozens of films. He played baby-faced criminal Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in director Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and starred along with his brother in the 1986 film "At Close Range." He also played Willard Hewitt in "Footloose" in 1984. Recently, Penn voiced Officer Eddie Pulaski in the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." Santa Monica police and the Los Angeles County Coroner were not immediately available for comment.

anagramking Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 That is a shocker. Too young. Here's his filmography: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001606/ I remember seeing him in The Wild Life, which came out in 1984. Eddie van Halen did the musical score for that movie.

Dweezil Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 QUOTE Actor Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, has been found dead at his Santa Monica residence. Police discovered the 40-year-old actor's body at around 4pm local time on Tuesday. There were no obvious signs of foul play. Autopsy results were pending. "The Penn family would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time," Mara Buxbaum, Sean Penn's publicist, said in a statement. Penn's body was discovered in a bed inside the residence, located in a four-storey condominium complex near the beach, after his housekeeper called the authorities. Last night, actor Martin Sheen left the condominium complex from a rear exit with two older women, but did not comment. Chris Penn's credits include Mulholland Falls, Rumble Fish, All the Right Moves, Footloose and Rush Hour. He also played Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino crime drama Reservoir Dogs. His late father, Leo Penn, directed television shows. His mother, Eileen Ryan, is an actress whose credits include I Am Sam, Magnolia and Parenthood. Another brother is musician Michael Penn. Chris Penn's latest film, The Darwin Awards, was scheduled to premiere on Wednesday at the Sundance Film Festival. Last night, actor Martin Sheen left the condominium complex from a rear exit with two older women, but did not comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arndrake Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 A real bummer. I always thought of him as a very decent actor, even if he had to be in his brother's shadow. He actually did some decent parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goobs, it's not as if he was wishing him dead.. he was just stating that if one of them had to die, too bad it couldn't have been Sean instead of Chris. Personally, I like Sean's acting a lot better, so I'm glad he's not dead. But I could understand how one could dislike Penn for his political stances. It does get quite tiresome.
