This is very sad, Chris was only 40. He was in a TV show that I liked that never got off the ground, I think last year. It was based in northern New England and centered around a family of small towners, firefighters, police officers, and politicians. It costarred Mare Winningham. The writing and acting were good and I really liked it. It just wasn't even given a chance and didn't have a good time slot either if I remember correctly. I feel bad for his family, bad timing for making fun of Sean (no offense meant to anyone).
