Chris Penn Dead -Remembering the Great Chris Penn DVDs

Actor Chris Penn has died in a Santa Monica residence, with no signs of foul play - this awful news came January 24, 2006. This is tough news for any Chris Penn fanatic... few people played the fat angry guy as well as Chris Penn.

Chris Penn had a terrific career in 50+ feature films - although each role was essentially the same. He was the quick-tempered, overweight, but funny guy in just about every film he played. Though there are some great choices, below are some of my favorite Chris Penn Movies:

* Footloose (1984) (as Christopher Penn) .... Willard Hewitt
* Best of the Best (1989) (as Christopher Penn) .... Travis Brickley
* Best of the Best 2 (1993) (as Christopher Penn) .... Travis Brickley
* Reservoir Dogs (1992) .... Nice Guy Eddie Cabot
* To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995) .... Sheriff Dollard
* Corky Romano (2001) .... Peter Romano
* Starsky & Hutch (2004) .... Manetti

Of course, he was also the voice of Offier Eddie Pulaski in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004)
