Yahoo is reporting that Chris Penn died today at the age of 43. He was found in his home in Santa Monica. There is no word on the cause of his death.
Penn is perhaps best remembered for his role in "Reservoir Dogs." He has also had roles in "Rush Hour," TV shows "Entourage" and "Everwood," and the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."
He is survived by his mother, actress Eileen Ryan, and his brothers actor Sean, and musician Michael. --Terrence Ryan
It is really sad. Also people are being kinda tight lipped on the cause. Not that we have a right to it, but in the absence of info bad things get supposed.

Thought this was really sad. I still think of him as the goofy guy in "Footloose!"
