Chris Penn found dead

[Blank]

Actor Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn and star of such films as Reservoir Dogs and Mulholland Falls, was found dead Tuesday at a condominium in Santa Monica; he was 40. Few details were released surrounding Penn's death late Tuesday afternoon, though sources reported there were no signs of foul play, and an autopsy was to be conducted to determine the cause of death. A spokesperson for the Penn family confirmed the actor's passing and released a statement saying that Penn's family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time." The son of director Leo Penn and actress Eileen Ryan, Penn was the younger brother of Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn and musician Michael Penn, and began his acting career in the early 80s, appearing in such films as Rumble Fish, All the Right Moves, and Footloose; he appeared alongside his brother in the 1986 film At Close Range. Penn went on to specialize in working-class character roles, achieving fame for his portrayal of Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs as well as such films as Short Cuts, The Funeral (for which he received an Independent Spirit Award nomination), and Mulholland Falls. Most recently, he appeared in the film version of Starsky & Hutch as well as episodes of TV series Entourage and Everwood, and his latest film, The Darwin Awards, was slated for a premiere Wednesday night at the Sundance Film Festival.

Ive seen him in a few films but i had no idea he was seans brother either. Any news on the cause of death yet?

[willfight4u]

weird....... i wonder if its a murder

[Ogio]

no i guess the police dont suspect any foul play

[Eilujin]

yes it is a shame, I would like to know what happened to our Nice Guy Eddie Cabot. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I think this weekened I'll watch Resevoir Dogs and All the right moves, or maybe True Romance.

[Jay2984]

He was in Footloose also, dont ask me how I remembered that. Anyways he was an OK actor, best was probably Resevoir Dogs.

[Eilujin]

ya I knew about footloose, just not interested in watching that again

if he wasn't famous would anybody give two squirts of piss? seriously someone's gradma died today(ok to some that's a very very very very good thing. I jumped for joy the day that old hag died) but someone who had a good grandma lost their grandma today and i dont see anyone posting about that

[Eilujin]

Yes people do care more so if someone famous died because we know them. They have touched us one way or another. It makes sence to me.

Just on another note, if someone here had someone close to them die and they posted about it, I would send my condolences their way.
