If anyone has seen Abel Ferrara's The Funeral you would have seen what I believe to be his best performance. It is all over the map and almost bizarre the way he channels and distributes his anger. He handles this fierce character in so many different ways it was fascinating to watch. I don't know if a stable person could have pulled that one off.

He was a consistently good actor.

LOS ANGELES — Actor Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, was found dead Tuesday at a Santa Monica residence, police said. 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.
Chris 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." Another brother is musician Michael Penn.

My fave role of his was Footloose.
The montage scene with Bacon teaching Penn to dance is an 80's classic.

I liked his acting. I'm assuming it's drug related.

I remember watching him in THE FUNERAL and his performance was so powerful... He looked like he could have a heart attack at any moment in that movie. It was that physical of a performance.
This is sad news.
