Great underated actor.  Was sorry to hear he passed away.  
If you don't know for yourself, how could you ever know for me....

He was awesome, what happened to him?

I was really shocked when I heard this yesterday. He was only 40, right? He did put a lot of weight on very suddenly...
Man that's a real shame.
I think I remember him best in Footloose trying to learn to dance.
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

He's been really fat since the late 80's. If it was a weight issue, then his heart could have just given out. Heart disease starts at a younger age (if unchecked) then most people would believe. Of course, if he had a past or present drug problem, then his heart could have finally worn out too. Here's hoping he wasn't a doper.

Edit:

There it is, Chris was over 300 pounds at the time of his death and had a history of drug abuse. Here's a report from Reuters: http://today.reuters.com/news/NewsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-01-26T065905Z_01_N24223443_RTRUKOC_0_US-PENN.xml
