I read this on the news earlier. It all seems to be a bit of a mystery at the moment. Terrible shame.

He did the voice of Officer Eddie Pulaski in GTA: San Adreas. He also did a few classic '80s films that I love like Footloose and The Wild Life. He also did the fantastic movies Mulholland Falls and Reservoir Dogs.

Life ended too quickly for him. RIP.

 

[Touring Mars]

His performance in Reservoir Dogs was fantastic - RIP

"We got places all over the place"...

 

[donbenni]

Was a bit shocked. RIP 'Nice Guy'.

Even more shocked to find he was the brother of Sean Penn. Honestly i think i spend too little time paying attention.

... and Reservoir Dogs.

I knew I knew him from somewhere. Shame. RIP

I just read it this morning.

Wonder what he died of.

 

[DQuaN]

He was good in True Romance too.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Great in True Romance and Reservoir Dogs. Definitly helped make the films classic.
RIP

 

[Dave A]

Damn, he was only 42. He did some great films, RIP.

 

[Joey D]

Hmmm never heard of the guy, but then again I don't watch to many moives.

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

I was a bit of a Chris Penn fan. It's a big shame that this has happened, and at such a young age.

Rest in peace, Nice Guy Eddie.

 

[TwinTurboJay]

What a shame...

RIP

 

[cardude2004]

Who is the guy?

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Yes what a shame. He was also in "Best of the Best". Great movie!!
He was the cocky guy with the cowboy hat.
EDIT.: He was in a lot more movies than I realized.

 

[194GVan]

dont forget Corky Romano, any word on the cause of death yet? I read something this morning but I dont think it said anything, just that the family asked the media to stay out of it for the time being.

From Reuters - App. 17 minutes ago :

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Investigators have found no sign of foul play or suicide in the death of actor Christopher Penn, Oscar-winner Sean Penn's younger brother, whose body was found on Tuesday at his Santa Monica home, officials said on Wednesday.

Medical examiners on Wednesday conducted an autopsy on the 40-year-old actor, who was found dead by a housekeeper, according to Lt. Cheryl MacWillie, a watch commander for the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.

"It appears to be a natural death," MacWillie said. "He died in bed." Examiners were trying to determine if weight was an issue because Penn weighed over 270 pounds (122.5 kg), she said.

A quote from another forum:

Only 40 years old. Wonder what did him in, drugs, booze or sausages?

Nice Guy Eddie got fat!

 

[misnblu]

So nobody knows how he died?
It's ashamed he had to die so young.
R.I.P.

Wow you certianly came outta the blue.

 

[VIPFREAK]

I didn't know he was related to Sean but R.I.P.

 

[Evolution.]

Wow you certianly came outta the blue.

Very Off-Topic: Oh the irony .

On Topic: Wow...that sucks big time. 42 is waaay too young to die. R.I.P

 

[sn00pie]

Shame, good actor. Once called a better actor than his brother, with none of the attitude - by a source I can't remember. Requiescat in pace.

 

[X5.]

It's a massive shame that such a wonderful chap has passed away - lets hope he is at peace now. R.I.P

 

[Blackbird.]

He also made a quick appearance in Rush Hour.

RIP

Very Off-Topic: Oh the irony .

That was a pun, not irony.

 

[Alex DeLarge]

I thought he was good in older movies like "All the Right moves" and "the Wild Life". No disrespect to him as an actor, but when he later got real fat like in "Starsky & Hutch" he was pretty gross to look at. Did anybody find out how he died yet??

 

[a6m5]

He also made a quick appearance in Rush Hour.

RIP

I was just gonna say. I've seen him in bunch of movies, but that one sticks out the most to me for some reason. It's interesting, what sn00pie heard. I know that he always seemed so relaxed. I will miss him.
