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.

Hard as ever and here to make you people believe...as long as there is one person to hold hope and dream...A GOD...will never die!
This sucks. I just watched Dogs and True Romance the other day. Chris was a cool guy who never got the credit he deserved, mainly because he gained so much weight. I'll always remember him as "Nice Guy Eddie". There is a cool interview "From the Back of moving van" on the "Dogs" special edition. Its a pretty cool segment and gives you a good idea of what kind of person Chris was, just a cool cat.

Yeah, he is definitetly one of those who always put out outstanding work, and never really got the nod.

Man.... shitty.... shiiiityyy.
He was in pretty good shape back when he made "Best of the Best". I guess he was into kickboxing back in his younger days.
Good actor... wonder what it is that really got him. I'm guessin' drugs or heart attack.
Thats a shame

I have only seen him in Rush Hour I think, but he was cool. Makes ya wonder what happened...
I know he lived a great life. Santa Monica, right beside the beach.
He was the dude in footloose =) He wasnt as violent as Sean or distructive.
He does have two movies in post production , King of Sorrow and Aftermath so maybe we get to see two last performances of his.
