According to his mother, the Rev. Helen Carry, executive minister of Christ Universal Temple in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, he died of complications from pancreatic cancer, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Chicago native had a TV and film career that lasted almost three decades in which he landed a steady stream of acting job on TV shows including "The White Shadow," "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.," "Tales from the Crypt," "Murder She Wrote" and "Murphy Brown."

But it was his role as Sho'nuff, accompanied by his wild, frizzed-out ’fro and outlandish version of samurai gear, demanding to know from his followers, "Who da mastah?" to which they respond, "Sho'nuff!" that he became most famous for.

Carry is survived by his wife, Naomi; a brother, Ronald; and his mother, the Rev. Helen Carry.

Services are being arranged.

I always wondered if the internet would find out, and how. But I have a real-life friend over at GAF now, so I guess people would know.

Morbid.

If that happens, I'd shed a few E-tears for you at your E-funeral.

You guys are lucky to have never witnessed a black woman crying at a funeral. So painful to watch. :'(

Nobody better cry for me if I keel over, just pour a 40 on my grave. I hear that heaven is an alcohol-free zone.

I just can't believe it.

I was actually browsing the playstation video store earlier and saw a huge banner on the side for The Last Dragon.  I was about to rent it.

[Himu]

I need to watch Last Dragon to celebrate.
