Actor RIP

What is it with successful actors that makes them die so young? The latest, Chris Penn found dead yesterday. I worked with him on Rush Hour. The other premature death that I found strange was Robert Pastorelli of Murphy Brown fame. I worked with him on a failed drama in the late '90s. Even with success the biz can kill. Fans don't see the struggle often months sitting in an apartment in Santa Monica or the valley waiting for the agent to call. It's even more depressing than writing.
