Christopher Shannon Penn, who later shortened his name, was born on October 10, 1965, into a large creative Jewish family. His father was the director of television series, and his mother - Hollywood actress, debuting on the big screen in the film "Three in One."

Growing up in the company of brothers, musician Michael and Oscar winner Sean Penn, Chris was confident in the future biography and followed in the footsteps of relatives. And his friendship with Charlie Sheen, Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez helped him get into Loft Studio at a young age.

Of Leo Penn's three children, journalists preferred Sean, so Chris's personal life was never seriously interested. It was said that in his youth, during the filming of the film "Free", the actor had an affair with Sarah Jessica Parker, but for some reason there was no evidence for this fact.

In 1979, the young man, who most likely did not receive a special education, made his debut in the film "Charlie and the Talking Vulture", which starred actor Christopher Hanks.

In 1983, the younger Penn family managed to shine in Mike Chapman's "All the Right Moves." This sports drama told about the life of a Pennsylvania football player who wants to succeed despite the vicissitudes of fate.

Working in the company of Tom Cruise and Leah Thompson revealed Chris' talent and showed the breadth of the role. And thanks to the reviews of the directors, he received a number of interesting offers and became a supporting character in "Fight Fish", which was shot by Francis Ford Coppola.

This avant-garde cult picture opened up new possibilities for the actor. In the late 1980s, he played a number of notable roles, becoming Josh Lahud in Pale Horseman, Travis Brickley in Best of the Best, Tom Drake of Wild Life and Lieutenant Crawford in Return from the River Kwai.

In the 1990s, starting with a character named Big Steve, played in the drama "Leather Jackets", Penn began to master the images of villains and subsequently greatly succeeded in it. The star hour of the already popular actor, who gained weight of 85 kg at a low height of 178 cm, came in the film "Mad Dogs" by quentin Tarantino, where he was a partner of such masters as Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel.

Continuing to play the bad guys on screen, Chris once again collaborated with the creator of Pulp Fiction and played the role of Nikki James in his film "True Love". And in the 2nd part of the family comedy about St. Bernard Beethoven, he in a duet with Debi Meisar was a dog thief named Floyd.
