| RIP Chris Penn Unless this is somewhere else I'll post it here He died ![]() LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The cause of actor Chris Penn's death remained undetermined after an autopsy, and the coroner's office has ordered blood toxicology tests. Penn, the brother of Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn and musician Michael, was found dead Tuesday in his Santa Monica condominium. The toxicology test is "just normal procedure for someone who's 40 and has not seen their doctor," coroner's spokeswoman Brenda Shafer said Wednesday. Penn's latest film, "The Darwin Awards," in which he appears with Winona Ryder and Joseph Fiennes, premiered later in the day at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. "He gave an incredible performance in the film," writer-director Finn Taylor said before the screening. "I think he is going to be remembered for years to come and we will miss him." Chris Penn appeared in numerous films, including "Reservoir Dogs," "Starsky & Hutch," "Rush Hour" and "Corky Romano." "Corky" star Chris Kattan described Penn's death as "a huge shock." "He was an amazing actor and a great comedian," Kattan said. "He was such a sweet soul and so funny. He had a really great innocence in his eyes. Of course he'll be terribly missed." Sean Penn's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, issued a statement Tuesday saying the Penn family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time." She released no further comment. Penn's agent, Cary Berman of the William Morris Agency, referred calls to Buxbaum. Penn's manager, Jonathan Brandstein, did not return a call for comment. Although he was not as well known as his brother Sean, 45, critics said he often was underrated. "Just as talented as Sean -- just a lot less ****y," Slate magazine critic Cintra Wilson wrote of him last year. He "makes you seamlessly believe in characters so much you barely even notice them."

It was probably drugs. Though he is a bit of a fat bastard. Maybe it was a heart condition. | |||||||||||||||

| Thats pretty sad to hear seeing as he was only 40 years old. Jesus I remember him in Footloose playing Kevin Bacon's sidekick when he was thin. He was also great in Reservoir Dogs as Nice guy Eddie and in my opinion gave the best performance in one of my favorite films. And while his brother gets a lot of press for his great acting I'd take this exchange in the closing moments of Reservoir Dogs over anything Sean Penn has ever done. Ok maybe not Fast Times but everything else.lol Chris Penn's great monologue at the climax of Reservior Dogs is the moment that the tension is brought to a boil. Even before Joe walks in and pronounces sentence, you know that Mr. Orange is well and truly screwed. If you haven't seen this movie what are you waiting for? Nice Guy Eddie:Let me say this out loud, 'cause I wanna get it straight in my head. You're saying that Mr. Blonde was gonna kill you, then when we got back, he was going kill us, take the satchel of diamonds, and scram. I'm right about that, right? That's correct? That's your story? Mr. Orange: I swear on my mother's eternal soul that's what happened. Nice Guy Eddie: The man you just killed was just released from prison. He got caught at a company warehouse full of hot items. He could've fuckin' walked. All he had to do was say my dad's name, but he didn't; he kept his fucking mouth shut. And did his fuckin' time, and he did it like a man. He did four years for us. So, Mr. Orange, you're tellin' me this very good friend of mine, who did four years for my father, who in four years never made a deal, no matter what they dangled in front of him, you're telling me that now, that now this man is free, and we're making good on our commitment to him, he's just gonna decide, out of the fucking blue, to rip us off? (Seething with rage) Why don't you tell me what really happened? " | ||||||||||||||

| He looks like that fat guy that was the hitman in Dumb and Dumber. But he's not. I thought he was good in Reservoir Dogs too. I don't remember him in Rush or Starsky and Hutch though. | ||||||||||||||

| Yep, he played Floyd in "Bethoven's 2nd". He also did the voice of Officer Eddie Pulaski in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. | ||||||||||||||
