Grizz Chapman, who was best known for his work on “30 Rock,” has died. He was 52.
The actor’s longtime rep, Saideh A. Brown, confirmed the news to TMZ on Friday, but no other details were given.
His wife and two children, however, are said to be devastated.
Chapman’s cousin, Harlem Globetrotter Donte “Hammer” Harrison, also took to Instagram to reveal the actor died “after years of fighting illness and dialysis.”
“Life gave my cousin Grizz Chapman some heavy battles, but he fought them with strength and dignity until the very end,” he added.
“A lot of people knew him as the sitcom star from 30 Rock, but we knew the man behind the screen. A good heart, good energy, and somebody who made an impact in this life.”
In addition to his work on the NBC sitcom, Chapman appeared in several other films and shows, including “Blue Bloods” and “The Black List.”
One of his last TV credits includes a role in an episode of “The Good Fight.”
He also created a series of YouTube videos known as “Grizz Chroniclez” that featured him in variety sketches.
