Hollywood actor Chris Penn has been found dead at an apartment in Santa Monica.

The 43-year-old Starsky and Hutch star was found on Tuesday night.

It is not yet clear how he died but Los Angeles police are not treating it as suspicious.

Chris, younger sibling of Oscar-winner Sean Penn is best known for his role as Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in Quentin Tarantino's classic Reservoir Dogs.

The actor also starred alongside his brother in the 1986 film At Close Range.

Chris's late father Leo Penn was a TV director and his mother Eileen Ryan an actress.

A family spokesman confirmed the death and said the Penn family "would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time."

Recently, Chris voiced Officer Eddie Pulaski in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The actor's latest film, black comedy The Darwin Awards, was scheduled to have its premiere on Wednesday night at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
