Chris Penn Dead

He learned how to dance from Kevin Bacon in a barn. He said one of my favorite lines ever, in Reservoir Dogs (If you fucking beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it fucking so!). He boxed with Johnny Drama. He survived growing up with his douchebag brother Sean. Now actor Chris Penn is dead.

Actor Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, was found dead Tuesday at a Santa Monica residence, police said. Santa Monica police discovered the actor's body around 4 p.m., Lt. Frank Fabrega said.
"The Penn family would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time," Mara Buxbaum, Sean Penn's publicist, said in a statement.
Penn's credits included "Mulholland Falls," "Rumble Fish," "All the Right Moves," "Footloose" and "Rush Hour." He also played Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino crime drama "Reservoir Dogs."
His late father, Leo Penn, directed television shows, his mother, Eileen Ryan, is an actress whose credits include "I Am Sam," "Magnolia" and "Parenthood," and his brother is musician Michael Penn.
