Top 5 Roles of Chris Penn’s Career

Why not celebrate his all-too-short career with a list of his
top five films. Here they are >

[1] 

Reservoir Dogs: As Nice Guy Eddie, Penn ran the crime show for
his dad until hell broke loose.

[2] 

Rumble Fish: In his debut feature performance, Penn was a member
of Matt Dillon’s unruly gang in this Francis Ford Coppola tale.

[3] 

The Funeral: As Christopher Walken’s gangster brother, Penn won
the best supporting actor award at the Venice Film Festival in this
role.

[4] 

The Darwin Awards: Premiered at Sundance the day after his
death, Penn played an ice fisherman who thinks that dynamite might
be the best way to break the ice.

[5] 

Grand Theft Auto: In this increasingly video game-dominated
world or ours, perhaps Penn’s legacy will thrive longest as the
voice of a particularly crooked cop in this hit game.
