[QUOTE]Actor, Comedian Bernie Mac Dies At Age 50
CHICAGO (AP) ― A publicist says Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian Bernie Mack has died at age 50.
Publicist Danica Smith says Bernie Mac died early Saturday at a hospital in the Chicago area of complications due to pneumonia.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but he had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently had been hospitalized and treated for pneumonia.
Mac had starring roles in "Ocean's Eleven," "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."
The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006.

Geez..........that's the same age as my dad. Such a shame when people die young. Life can't be taken for granted.
One of the funniest comedians of all time.

Re: Bernie Mac has died
It's on CNN.com so I guess it's true. I hadn't seen much of him besides his TV, but I did enjoy it.

R.I.P. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
This is probably my favorite scene from him in any movie

Re: Bernie Mac has died
I was just watching some of his old work from def comedy jam a couple days ago. It's sad. He was one of the greatest to do it.
R.I.P. B-Mac
