Hey Chris, I can remember seeing you in Rumble Fish(1983) via my cousins VCR in 1984 and your cool dancing in Footloose(1984) even then you were a cool dude.

Keep dancing up in the sky ''Nice Guy Eddie''

P.S Without you Madsen and Keitel ''Reservoir Dogs'' would have been rather boring.

I loved Chris Penn. I was very sad when I heard of his passing. He was very talented and always looked forward to his movies.
