Brian Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 WHAT????? Wow, funny guy. Last I saw him was his cameo on "Entourage" when Drama wanted money for his calf implants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I guarantee his death was either due to a drug overdose, or a murder related to drug activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me. If it is natural causes, it is heart failure, my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 This is a real shame. He was great in most the movies I saw him in, especially Reservoir Dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Unfortunate news, however if you look at his physical appearance over the years it was obvious something was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 IIRC, he had thyroid issues and had been clean for quite a while. Very possible it was natural causes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I had to watch Footloose last night on HBO, to honor Chris Penn . After seeing that, and seeing his later films, I am going to guess it was heart related. He was probably 150 lbs smaller in Footloose, if not more. What a shame, I thought he was really good too.

The Critic Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 25, 2006 -> 11:55 AM) Sean Penn is the most talented actor in his age group. I don't disagree, but I'd like to see him make a movie without doing that "pickle face" thing of his. If he and Renee Zellweger made a movie together, their faces would implode from the centrifugal force of being near each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, and what does that say about his age group? I think that Sean Penn is incredibly dull, but maybe it's just me. He was okay in the 80s, I suppose.
