Christopher Shannon Penn (October 10, 1965 - January 24, 2006) was an American actor who performed under the name Chris Penn. He was the brother of actor Sean Penn and musician Michael Penn. Noted as a skilled character actor from a prominent acting dynasty, he was typically cast as a tough character, featured as a villain or a working-class thug, or in a comic role and was known for his roles in such films as The Wild Life, Reservoir Dogs, The Funeral, Footloose, Rush Hour, Corky Romano, True Romance, Beethoven's 2nd, Short Cuts, The Boys Club, All the Right Moves, At Close Range, Pale Rider, and Starsky & Hutch. During his career Penn had won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for his performance in The Funeral. He also provided the voice of the corrupt, ruthless cop Edward "Eddie" Pulaski in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Penn started acting at the age of 12 at the Loft Studio and made his film debut in 1979's Charlie and the Talking Buzzard, starring Christopher Hanks. In 1983, he was featured in Francis Ford Coppola's youth drama Rumble Fish and appeared in the high school football drama All the Right Moves as the best friend of Tom Cruise's character. He also appeared in the hit dance movie Footloose in 1984 as the best friend of Kevin Bacon's character; played a villain in the Clint Eastwood western Pale Rider (1985); and co-starred with his brother Sean Penn and mother Eileen Ryan in At Close Range (1986).
Penn, who had a black belt in karate, appeared in the 1989 motion picture Best of the Best as Travis Brickley, a cocky member of the U.S. Taekwondo team taking on the team from Korea. The film also starred James Earl Jones, Sally Kirkland, Eric Roberts, Phillip Rhee, and Simon Rhee. Penn reprised his role in 1993's Best of the Best 2.
Two of his more memorable performances were in Reservoir Dogs as Nice Guy Eddie and True Romance as Nicky Dimes (both characters in scripts written by Quentin Tarantino). In 1996 he won the award for Best Supporting Actor at the Venice Film Festival for The Funeral.
Penn was found dead in his Santa Monica apartment on January 24, 2006, at the age of 40. An autopsy and subsequent toxicology report performed by a Los Angeles County medical examiner revealed the primary cause of death was heart disease. The report also noted that the prescription drug promethazine with codeine and an enlarged heart were possible contributing factors to his death. The toxicology report revealed that Valium, morphine, marijuana and an elevated level of codeine were found in his bloodstream. Penn gained considerable weight throughout the 1990s. Sean Penn said publicly in an interview on Larry King Live that his brother probably died because of his weight.
Penn's gravesite is at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. - Розваги
Years ago I worked for a window covering company and Mrs. Penn lived in Malibu this was the same house that Sean and Christopher grew up in. She had us come up to measure her windows for specialty blinds. she was very friendly she told us how Sean would come down the stairs and practice his Spicoloie ( spelling) sorry,… bit when he was auditioning for that Fast Times at Ridgemont High. she was very kind. A very nice lady
Yeah sure
That’s a cool
Story!!!! Was she a movie agent? I think she was or at least an actress?
I remember hearing Sean say that he never wanted to be type cast as Spicolli… he worked damn hard to break that cycle. He’s one of the best!!! So was Chris. Very cool you were at their child home!
1998, me and two Dutch friends were in a pub in Santa Monica- in walks Chris Penn as friendly as sunshine. So humble and unassuming.
God Bless Chris.
RIP😢
I always love how you leave a stone and clean the grave stone too! Your a good man!
My sister was Chris Penn’s Middle School Teacher. I worked with Leo Penn on Matlock.
If not for drugs and plane crashes think how many famous people might still be alive. RIP Chris.
If it wasn't for death, think of all the people who would be alive.
When it's your time it's your time if drugs don't get you a semi truck will
Too many great names gone too soon, James Dean for one...
@@robthebruce_81 but for some it's self inflicted and not natural causes so not really not in that sense of the word.
That goes for everyone 🙄
Chris died on my birthday. How can I forget! So sad. Great actor and guy. Scott, the whole front of that building is 104. Chris bought it for just over $450,000 in 1997, which is chump change by todays prices. It took the Penn family almost exactly 6 months to sell his place in 2006. It sold for $1, 585,000. Thanks for all the interesting and informative videos. Tommy from Burbank, Ca.
How can the whole front of the building be 104? There's 4 floors so it would be 204, 304 404, Stop making shit up!
Thank you, Scott. Beautiful tribute to Chris Penn. I remember reading that he would go over to the Fairmont Miramar next door to have a few beers and then walk home. I purchased a condo in the hi-rise in background in 2007 that I now rent out, so missed seeing him but remember the photo of Martin Sheen and Chris's mother in the alleyway. How heartbreaking! Almost like Chris Farley, going over and beyond on food, alcohol and drugs. They did it their way. After watching your video, it's interesting that William Holden was found in his high rise apt, just down the street on Ocean Ave., liquored up, passed out and found dead days later. On a lighter note, Stan Laurel lived just a few doors in between the two buildings back in the 60's when they were apts and what is now Oceana Hotel. Dick Van Dyke would go and visit him there, periodically. I was blessed to have Valerie Harper (Rhoda) and her husband rent my condo prior to her passing away. It was definitely a gift from my mom in the heavens, knowing how much I loved The Mary Tyler Moore Show. A new HBO documentary will be out this year about MTM. Appreciate all you do to make these videos so heartfelt about our favorite entertainers.
Wow incredible information thank you Rebecca !
Rush hour sticks in my mind so sad
@Rebecca Bradley, thanks for opening up a window, even a crack, into a scenario that most of us would never see into or hear about.
I'm sure that a guy as talented as Chris Penn wouldn't have had a diet of steaks, fish & chips and milkshakes.
@@drooshmaroosh8261 I wonder if he had an overdose of lib-nutjob like his brother?
I was out walking with a friend years ago past this building, who went to highschool with Sean and Christopher and used to hang out with Chris, he pointed out Chris's condo and said the family still owned it at that time. This was a couple of years after his death. It's the north side front unit on the 1st floor.
I was in Santa Monica from England UK and I had a good drunk chat with Chris Penn very close to his death.
I was sad to hear he died.
The barman asked me if I knew who I was talking too most of the night and I didn’t at first but I was a best of the best movie fan and started to recognise him later in the night.
A great memory I will always have and time to share.
The bar was called Yankee Doodles if I remember correctly, lots of pool tables and I watched Mike Tyson’s last fight in there.
I bet that bar isn’t there anymore.
RIP He was a very friendly person and it was great chat.
I miss Santa Monica
Great story Dean thank you for sharing
@@SCOTTONTAPE your welcome Scott and great vids
I'll always remember the day he died, I was in the hospital awaiting the birth of my first nephew that day and I remember seeing the report on the news in the hospital waiting room.
My brother died at the age of 32 on 11th of January 2006. Sean and I mourned our brothers almost at the same time. A year for me to erase and forget ( 2006 )
I absolutely love Chris Penn and was sad to hear of his passing. Way too young. From Footloose to Reservoir Dogs, he was a wonderful talent. You could definitely tell he and Sean were brothers by their looks and voice. My heart goes out to the Penn family. Rest in peace Chris. You'll never be forgotten. ❤️
Replace "could" with "couldn't". They couldn't look or sound any differently if one was a woman.
I love it when you take the few moments to clean the gravestones. Such a respectful thing to do.
The Penn brothers are fantastic actors truly talented . Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
HEY SCOTT, MY BEST FRIEND SINCE I WAS 9YRS OLD IS BURIED AT HOLY CROSS AS WELL. HE WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 95' I'M 52 NOW AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT JUST HAPPENED SOMETIMES. THANKS FOR THE CONTENT , STAY SAFE✌🏾
Chris deserved an Oscar for his performance in "The Funeral"
Gawd, I remember him in Footloose, I had no idea he had passed away. How very sad. May he be resting in peace
He died from a heart attack 💔 he
Way overweight...even his brother
Sean said the same thing.
I remember him from footloose as well. RIP
@KARIN yup me too. Chris Penn is still amazing actor.
he died in 2006, wth you been!?🤣
Me either, until just now!!
Scott, a nicer more empathetic man can't be found. You are so respectful and kind. Thank you for this video. Wishing you the best of everything. Take care of yourself.
Loved Chris in True Romance and Reservoir Dogs. He was such an underrated actor, and I was bummed when he passed.
Nice tribute to the man!
I have never seen this channel come through my feed before. The homage you have paid to Chris Penn here is not only very sweet but an excellent reminder to everyone of what can happen when substances are mixed like this. He was adorable, incredibly talented, and gone too soon. Thank you for sharing this. You did a fantastic job.
Never knew there was a Chris Penn. Ty
@@user-sf6cg1iy1o Check out the movie Reservoir Dogs 🍿
May He Rest In Peace.
Yes. We have to remember why he is gone. Then we could love him and honour him😢😢😢😢.
I've seen it many times. It will go down as a classic for future audiences.
Best in ...At close range. With Sean Penn and Christopher Walken. My favorite movie based on a true story.
RIP Chris, I truly hope your at peace. You’re missed very much.
This is one of those videos where I never realized the person had passed on but had watched them as a youth growing up, rest in peace Chris Penn. Life gets in the way sometimes and miss these tragic news events thank you for the touching tribute to a fine actor
i love it when you leave something for whoever you are visiting. you are so caring scott
I remember him on footloose , I had no idea that he had passed away... and that he was the brother of Sean Penn! I didn’t remember it.. 😮
also Rest In Peace Lisa Marie #Presley 🕯🥀🙏🏼
Chris Penn was a underrated actor. I always enjoyed seeing him act. Gone way too soon. R.I.P.
He was one of my favorite actors to watch on-screen. My brother's and I watched the movie Best of the Best with him and Eric Roberts alot as teens.
I loved Chris! My favorite roles of his were in " All the Right Moves", "Footloose" and " Too Wong Foo" great actor... RIP Chris.💔❤️🌹🥀
His role as Tommy in "At close range " was my favorite! And yes addiction sucks!! I'm 52 with 11 years clean now! After a 35+ years of using pretty much everything from weed, lsd, crack but my drug of choice was Oxy! Got off oxy using methadone and was abusing that to! I was shooting close to 200 milligram a day for over 9 years! Lost everything during this time of my life. Looking back it's the time wasted is what I struggle with. All the years I threw away for what? I thank God I survived but I stay depressed. Anyway 🤙
Congratulations on your 11 years of sobriety! Stay strong and wishing you peace and joy to help with your depression. 😊
His Father was a Prolific TV director. He directed episodes of many famous shows from the 60'S until his death in 93
He was such a good actor so talented. Gone to soon. I loved watching him. May he R.I.P. you're the first person that I've seen do a tribute to him. You always do an amazing job you're always so respectful.
I had the biggest crush on him because of footloose 😢, it's so sad. God must have needed him more than he thought we did. RIP ...🙏
Tragic I wasn’t even aware he had passed, he was a brilliant actor in every movie I saw him in, rest easy Chris Penn
Awwww. I liked Chris Penn, especially in True Romance 💖✌️ 🌹RIP Chris🌹. Thank you so much Scott 💖💖💖💖
Chris was Great in so many Movies. His Roles in Reservoir Dogs, At Close Range, True Romance & The Funeral were among my favorites, not just favorites that he was in but Favorite Movies period.
Thank You Scott,
Never knew his name nor that he was Sean's Brother , Rest in Paradise Christopher ♡♡♡
Very sad. I vaguely remember this 😢. I used to live in Santa Monica, but I think I had moved already in 2004 back to Culver City. I've been to many funerals at Holy Cross cemetery, a lot of family members there, including my grandparents. It's always very peaceful when I go there. Another nice video Scott 👍 RIP Chris Penn.
Thank you for this story Scott. We really enjoyed this video. Chris Penn was an absolutely wonderful gifted actor. May his soul rest in Christ.
Chris Penn always struck me as being such a cool guy. It’s very sad he passed away at such a young age and how much he suffered from his addictions. The cemetery where he and his father are buried is massive and so beautiful. Your shot at 12:41 of the tree with the sunset behind it is stunning. I think it’s so thoughtful how you always brush away any debris from the graves you visit, as well as place a rock on each headstone to honor the deceased. You are extremely kindhearted and this makes me appreciate your videos even more.
Me too. It's very thoughtful and kind
Yes I agree with you
First off his mama must raise them, right? Which is awesome, you're awesome, Scott second. Hes a Canadian. LOL.
Scott I loved Chris Penn in footloose. I've watched too many times to count. You did a great job telling his story. You are right 40 is so young.
Thank you Scott! You always do such beautiful tributes and give us info that we would not know if it weren’t for you. I loved him in Footloose, just watched it again the other day. I had no idea Chris had died, and I don’t remember knowing that he was Sean’s brother when I first watched the movie. RIP Chris.
I love how very respectful you are in all facets of your videos, to the ppl who may live in the properties now, to speaking of the dead, to how you are at the gravesites. 😢
I remember this actor but didn't know his name or that he was Sean Penn's brother. So talented and gone so soon. RIP Chris Penn. Well done, Scotty.
You're respect and tender care of the headstones when you place a stone of remembrance is really very lovely ❤❤
I didn't know he passed away either! I had not seen him in a while. And now that I think about him I wondered what happened to him. Now I know. He was really great no matter what part he played. A funny man, a bad guy, a big part, a small part, it didn't matter. What a shock. How did we miss this big news? Really sad as you mentioned. It sounded like he was a walking pharmacy which obviously was not good. He was married at the time of his death, but it sounded like he was living alone according to the conditions of his residence, which sounded deplorable. Plus, his mother was called by his neighbors and house keeper, not his wife. Perhaps he and his wife were having issues or she was away on work. I think she's an actress. Margot Hemmingway died in an apartment in Santa Monica too. Probably not far from Chris Penn's place. I think she committed suicide. Her apartment looked like the white building next door. Santa Monica, such a beautiful place, but such a sad place.
Such great story's...thank you!
He was an awesome actor.
Scott, hope you can get to Graceland in the future to show us the gravesite of Lisa Marie alongside her other family members-what a tragedy for her to pass on at such a young age
Wow...I can't believe he's been dead that long and he was only 40 years old. He was a really underappreciated actor.
@SCOTT ON TAPE - Your Pop
Culture Tour Guide thank you for making this video possible. He was still is an amazing actor. He is loved & very deeply missed!❤❤❤❤
I miss him so much 😢 I loved in all of the movies he made but especially at Close Range. He will always be loved
Thanks so much for the recognition of Chris Penn. Proving to all of us that a big bear of a man can still take part in movies. Chris was a tremendous actor, especially in 80s staples you mentioned such as At Close Range, Footloose, the WILD LIFE (amazing), and MADE IN USA (check those two out for anyone that hasn't seen em). Can't believe he was only 40 years old. Wish he could have used something healthier than substances toward the end, as it's clear he had a support system just from the attendees of his funeral. May he have found and be resting in peace. 🙏🌌🌫️
Wasn't he in Lost Boys? He couldn't have been just 40. Edit: ok this happened in 2006 so that makes sense
Thank you for this video. I’ll always remember him from Corky Romano, an underrated yet hilarious movie.
The funeral is a great movie with Chris the end is very emotional, wow great actor
I just watched True Romance 2 days ago... (for the 20th time) what a film. Taken to soon. R.I.P
To have it all and end up with nothing at all is just too sad. It seems to happen over and over again. Not just to Hollwood folks but plain Janes and Johns too. He had so much still to offer here but now his offerings are to a higher power. May his soul rest in peace now and forever.
I'm glad you're tribute to Chris Penn is beautiful ❤️ and very respectful. Thank you for creating this. He was extremely talented.
Ever feel like you're the very last one to know that someone died I'm in complete and utter shock I did not know Chris Penn Passed Away.. I've been a fan of him and Sean I was first introduced to Sean Penn from the movie Colors the Dennis Hopper directed movie
So sad thanxx Scott as usual ✌️😎
Oh man. I didn’t realize he passed… thank you, my friend
I had no idea he passed he was such a good actor
RIP, Chris Penn 🤍🙏🕊💔😪... ty, always Scott, stay safe always & God bless 🙏✌️❤️
Hi Scott ❣️ I remember when this happened. So sad. He was a heck of an actor. One can imagine what he would have achieved if he was still with us. Thank you Scott. 😊
🕊️🙏❤️
You are always so compassionate Scott. Cleaning off the graves, leaving a rock etc. Thank you. The world needs more Scotts. ❤️
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this about Scott. I watch another vid about graves in Hollywood called HOLLYWOOD graveyard. And while i love Arthur Dark's vid at HG, the personal and compassionate touch by Scott is something very special and that I don't see at HG. Scott is a winner!
I remember him most from Best of the Best 1 and 2. Karate movies from the late 80's and early 90's.
Scott I loved him in the Best of the Best movies. You know me and my martial arts🥋 He also made a movie out here in NM. My aunt was a stand in for Lori Singer
I didn’t realise Chris had died , I remember him from footloose thank you for sharing .
Rest in peace chris ❤
I remember hearing of his passing, but can't believe it was back in 2006. Even though his brother Sean was more well know, Chris had a presence on screen that made him memorable. He had many personal struggles, but hope he has found peace. Appreciate seeing his resting place. It always surprises me when celebrities have such simple graves. Wish his grave look like someone was visiting it more regularly. Just seeing the ants crawling over his gravestone was just sad.
Scott, man, you do the nicest, most genuine caring videos when u cover famous individuals passings. U never judge or be critical on their issues that may have contributed to their deaths. Appreciate the content.
I got introduced to him from the best martial arts film ever - best of the best
This was a very tragic loss. He was awesome in Reservoir Dogs. Thank You Scott.👍🤗✌️
In his younger years he was always in great shape a great actor RIP
I absolutely love the sweet gesture of dusting off the people you visit ❤️ it’s the little things
You produce these videos with so much compassion and grace, Scott. Thank you
I been a Chris Penn fan since the 90s . Crazy to think he died on this day 17 years ago. Best of the Best 1&2.
I remember when he passed. It was very shocking because he was so young. Excellent video Scott really appreciate this one as i have never seen Chris Penns gravesite. Rest in Paradise Chris
Greatly loved & missed. Thank you Scott for taking us to where Chris & his dad Leo were laid to rest.💕🙏
I enjoyed watching Chris in several movies, particularly Reservoir Dogs. I always thought he would have continued to make amazing work, sadly not to be. He made his mark and is not forgotten. Thanks for another great respectful video Scott.
Thank you @Scott for always making such kind, caring and nonjudgmental videos of those who have left way too soon!
I am so glad you did a video on Chris Penn. He was great in Footloose. Thanks for sharing.
It’s funny I watched the dude for years, and I had no idea he was Sean Penn’s brother. Then I went back to them in the 80’s and they looked so much alike before he ballooned up. It was no surprise then. He was great in Corky Romano with Chris kattan lol.
Hilarious
I loved him as Travis in best of the best
It’s times like these that I really appreciate your videos it saddens my heart to know that Chris Penn had passed away so long ago I had no idea that he had even passed away. I just figured he was retired. Thank you so much Scott for the work that you do and the time that you put in God bless you on your travels.
Him and Tom Siezmore had a lot of chemistry in true romance. Same thing with him and his brother in at close range. Burn the candle at both ends for to long and that’s what happens. I’ve been through it. RIP
Remembered him from Footloose, Best of the Best movies, and Resevoir Dogs. He also played a really good villain role on an episode of Law and Order: CI. Iwas saddened by his passing, he was really good! RIP!
He was excellent in Reservoir Dogs.
When doing a video on those that have passed , you always do such a fine job at being kind and respectful. It’s admirable my friend.
I remember his death because it was only 1 ½ weeks before my own father died. He really did look like Sean in his youth, almost his twin, it sucks that his weight basically led to his early death. At least it wasn't as tragic as Chris Farley. --- Great Work Scott.
It wasn't the weight!
Another well done video and a very respectful tribute. Chris Penn was a very talented as well as a very troubled soul. May he be at rest and at peace. Thank you, Scott.
Awesome character he was. Glad you covered this one too Scott. Your going from strength to strength with these videos. Keep up the amazing work my friend 🤠
Thank you Scott for sharing this video on Chris Penn, it's so said he was living like that and he died so young. He was a talent actor just like his brother.
Time to binge watch more SCOTT ON TAPE videos 🙌🏼 Love your stuff 🥰
What a beautiful place to live. So sad so young so much ahead of him. Thanks for sharing love from UK 🇬🇧 ❤️
What a beautiful view. I had no idea how gorgeous that area is. Love the building where he lived too. I’m pure East coast girl never had any interest in CA - only visited once a trillion years ago. Thank you so much for this. Very sad story. Had no idea Sean had a brother who passed.
I saw a special screening of Reservoir dogs with Michael Madson in Austin. He’s generally not the positive light kind of guy, but he spoke of Chris Penn and the dude lit up. He very audibly was choked up when speaking of the amazing person Chris Penn was. RIP to Chris. Gone much too damn soon.
I love this channel Scott it just gets better and better 😊
He and his Brother are great actors. RIP Chris. Thanks for the video Scott.
No idea they were kin….
I watch your videos on people i dont know much about because i know you do a great job telling their story ! Thanks for all your hardwork making these !
Just finished watching, “At Close Range” for the first time!!! I was a little kid and wasn’t allowed to watch it back in the day. I had forgotten all about it until it came on my UA-cam Home for Madonnas “Live to Tell” one of the best songs she ever sang IMO. Chris Penn’s line, “Dad!?” In “At Close Range” is now burned in my memory. So freakin sad!!! He’s gone but never forgotten. RIP 💝
Great actor too soon to pass away. I am so sorry ti hear about chris penn. May he rest in peace. Thank you Scott for tell us what happened to chris penn
Thank you Scott, for this lovely tribute vlog for Chris Penn. I do remember him from Footloose! He was an awesome actor. Gone way too soon
Thanks for the information on Chris Penn, may he rest in peace. 🕊️
