Wow, that's a shocker. I think he was a bit one-dimensional in a lot of his roles, but he really shined in others. In any case, it's too bad to see someone talented, shit anyone at all, die at such a young age.

I imagine they'll find it to have been a heart attack or stroke. He weighed 270 lbs.

All due respect to a loved ones death but I am glad I am not into HolleyWood worship of those I don't really know. I will certainly feel more when my weimer dies than a stranger that made a Movie I never met.

Yeah, I agree Schmernie. When it's untimely, I'll think it unfortunate just cuz of it's untimeliness, but I've never been able to get experiencing actual grief over the death of someone that one has not known personally, regardless of WHO it is.

Sad to say, but I think Chris Farley brought more to the 'big' screen.

Phil Hartman doesn't really come into question, talking about the "big" screen, though it was tragic. Talkin' fat actors here.

She came home from class one day and told me and it was like two days after it happened. I couldn't beleive that I hadn't heard abotu it. Then we both went to the bar and started doing his Troy McClure lines from the Simpsons.

Is that from CNN? CNN.com is saying:

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The cause of actor Chris Penn's death remained undetermined after an autopsy, and the coroner's office has ordered blood toxicology tests.

The toxicology test is "just normal procedure for someone who's 40 and has not seen their doctor," coroner's spokeswoman Brenda Shafer said Wednesday."

So I don't know that it's been ruled out. I think toxicology tests take at least a few days anyway.

At least we have Hollywood. Otherwise many of us would not feel the exhiliration of success, the pain of defeat, or the agony of loss.

Why can't y'all just let people pay tribute to someone whose work they respected? I'd feel bad if my plumber died, early in life or late, and, frankly, he's brought me much less joy than Chris Penn did in one day on the set of Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Footloose, or Short Cuts.

Some of you refuse to be empathetic at all, but you don't have to bring it up every time the rest of choose to relate to the suffering or loss of another. It's a shame that anyone ever has to experience loss or tragedy, and it's a double shame if we have to lose out on more entertainment because of it.

The fact the some of you don't give a damn about the lives, or loss thereof, of anyone you don't personally know is pretty much irrelevant to the capability of the rest of us to feel empathy or loss. Feel free to feel superior to all the rest of us who care but try and bring it up at less disrespectful occasions.
