    Actor Chris Penn found dead at 40

    Actor Chris Penn dead, no sign of foul play-police

    Wed Jan 25, 1:58 AM ET

    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."

    I always liked the Penns.

    Even Michael.

    Chris was a big boy. If it's not drug related, I bet it was his heart.
    Find a new slant.

    Gotta suck when the first line in the news story about your death is how much better your brother was at your chosen profession.
