RIP: Chris Penn

Actor Chris Penn, the younger brother of actor Sean Penn, was found dead near the Pacific Ocean in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Monica.

No cause of death was immediately determined but there were no signs of foul play, police sources said.

A family spokeswoman confirmed the death and said the Penn family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time".

Chris Penn's credits include "Mulholland Falls," "Rumble Fish," "All the Right Moves," "Footloose" and "Rush Hour." His latest film, "The Darwin Awards," is scheduled to premiere tomorrow at the Sundance Film Festival.

Recently, Penn voiced Officer Eddie Pulaski in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Our thoughts are with his family and fans.
