Man, this one caught me by surprise! I thought he was so talented, even though he didn't get the praise Sean does. At Close Range (which starred both of them) is one of my favorite movies. I also loved Chris in Rush Hour, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, and of course, Reservior Dogs. Hopefully his last film (cannot remember the name, but I think it was supposed to premiere at Sundance last night) is a good one.
RIP Chris.

I live in Utah and I'm watching the news and the film was called "The Darwin Awards". How sad it is that such a young life can end so tragically. I don't know that I've seen any of his movies other than what was my high school favorite "Footloose" but I had a soft spot for ol "Willard" and since we live just a few miles from the "Rollermills" where the dance was filmed, I will think of him every time I pass it.

I thought he had talent !
Hope this isn't a silly question ---is he Sean Penns' brother?
I had thought he was !

He was Sean's brother and although he didn't get all the glory for his acting, he was a good actor in my eyes. If you don't remember seeing him in anything and can handle the gore and language, rent Reservior Dogs. He is excellent in that as Nice Guy Eddie. If you don't like gore, rent At Close Range - both the brothers were great in that movie as...brothers
