Pretty sad. He was only 50 years old.

He was funny in a lot of movies and shows.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Oceans 11, 12, 13 I didn't like his t.v. series though. At any rate, he'll be missed in the comedy world, very talented

I can't believe he died of pneumonia.

That was my reaction too... it'd be like hearing about someone in this country having polio or something. I thought we were beyond that...
Exactly ... especially because he could presumably afford the best level of care.

I thought he had a great on-screen presence. I can't remember the movie's name but he was very good playing the protective father of the black girl the white lead was dating.

I almost forgot about that movie...forgot the name as well. As for his cause of death, I too had some reservations about it and immediately thought....Ooo, he must have contracted AIDs and they just didn't want to publicly announce it. (That's probably really ignorant of me, but so what....sue me ::dunno:
