LOS ANGELES - De Amerikaanse acteur Chris Penn, broer van Sean Penn, is gisteren dood aangetroffen in zijn flat bij het strand van Santa Monica in Californië. Dat heeft de politie meegedeeld.
Autopsie moet uitsluitsel geven over de doodsoorzaak, maar volgens politiewoordvoerder Frank Fabrega zijn er geen aanwijzingen voor een misdrijf.
Chris Penn speelde onder meer in 'Mulholland Falls', 'Rumble Fish', 'All the Right Moves', 'Footloose' en 'Rush Hour'. Hij acteerde ook in 'Reservoir Dogs' van Quentin Tarantino.
Zijn laatste film, 'The Darwin Awards', zou vandaag bij het Sundance filmfestival in première gaan.

Actor Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn and star of such films as Reservoir Dogs and Mulholland Falls, was found dead Tuesday at a condominium in Santa Monica; he was 43. Few details were released surrounding Penn's death late Tuesday afternoon, though sources reported there were no signs of foul play, and an autopsy was to be conducted to determine the cause of death. A spokesperson for the Penn family confirmed the actor's passing and released a statement saying that Penn's family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time." The son of director Leo Penn and actress Eileen Ryan, Penn was the younger brother of Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn and musician Michael Penn, and began his acting career in the early 80s, appearing in such films as Rumble Fish, All the Right Moves, and Footloose; he appeared alongside his brother in the 1986 film At Close Range. Penn went on to specialize in working-class character roles, achieving fame for his portrayal of Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs as well as such films as Short Cuts, The Funeral (for which he received an Independent Spirit Award nomination), and Mulholland Falls. Most recently, he appeared in the film version of Starsky & Hutch as well as episodes of TV series Entourage and Everwood, and his latest film, The Darwin Awards, was slated for a premiere Wednesday night at the Sundance Film Festival. --Prepared by IMDb Staff
