In Passing... Bernie Mac (1957-2008)

Chas Andrews
Comedian Bernie Mac passed away at the age of 50 on Saturday, August 9, 2008. Born Bernard Jeffrey McCollough in Chicago, he grew-up in one of the rougher neighborhoods while trying to pursue his dream of standup comedy. At the age of 19, he left to become a professional comedian. His first breakthroughs came in 1992 when he had a role in the film "Mo' Money," as well as "Def Comedy Jam." Since then he has went on to be in such films as "Friday," "Booty Call," "Ocean's Eleven," "Head of State," "Mr. 3000," "Guess Who," and "Transformers," as well as having his own sitcom, "The Bernie Mac Show."
