Chris Penn found dead

[King]

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Character actor Chris Penn, younger brother of Oscar-winner Sean Penn, was found dead on Tuesday at an apartment near the Pacific Ocean in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Monica, police sources said.

No cause of death was immediately determined but there was no signs of foul play, the sources added.

A family spokeswoman confirmed the death and said the Penn family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time."

Penn, 43, was a character actor who appeared in dozens of films including "Reservoir Dogs," "Mullholland Falls" and the 2004 film "Starsky & Hutch."

In one of his best known roles, he played baby-faced criminal Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in director
Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." He also starred along with his brother in the 1986 film "At Close Range."

Recently, Penn voiced Officer Eddie Pulaski in the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."

^^ All the movies Chris Penn was in.Very sad, but I didnt know he had a voice in GTA too.

[ChumpDumper]

He was getting huge. That certainly may have had something to do with it. I guess Daniel Baldwin is next.

[Duncan21]

i didn't know he was officer pulaski, he had a good voice to play that role.

RIP

How can you mention Chris Penn without reference to his epic performances in All the Right Moves and Footloose?

RIP.

[JoeChalupa]

I thought his best movie was Footloose. The guy had moves.

But he was nowhere near the actor his brother Sean is.

[Shelly]

The Wild Life was great!
