He’s Not Breathing, He’s My Brother

Or
Penn is for Heaven
Chris “Fredo” Penn, best known for making brother Sean look normal and thin, was found dead in his Los Angeles apartment at the age of 43. There were no signs of foul play, so let’s start the side bets on what he OD’ed on. Chris’ best role was as Nice Guy Eddie Cabot, Joe Cabot’s whiny but loyal son in Reservoir Dogs. Other highlights included a whiny fat boy who just wanted to dance in Footloose, sexually frustrated whiny husband who kind of bludgeons a girl to death in Short Cuts and the whiniest member of the Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire. In a reversal of fortune from his real life, he played the cool brother in Corky Romano. He would have played Stiffler’s Dad in American Pie 2, but those scenes were deemed not to fit in, because above all else, the American Pie series has been a slave to continuity.
