Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50
 


Aug 9, 9:34 AM (ET)

CHICAGO (AP) - A publicist says Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died at age 50.

Publicist Danica Smith says 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.

Thanks, that makes me feel good, I turned 50 this year.   He had been having serious health problems.  Very sad.    Wasn't he always smoking cigars?

Meh...that's just it. His time was up. Not everyone lives to be 103.

He was a great comedian. I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam, up through Kings of Comedy and his TV show.

Great comedian. Very sad.

Bernie Mac was a superb comedian and will be missed by fans of stand-up comedy. I always enjoyed his movie appearances as well - nothing to write home about but he never embarrassed himself either.

Just watched him pull off a stellar performance in the movie "Pride". That's too bad that he passed away, I liked his style.
