A developing story, it says at the bottom.

This is so sad! I used to watch Fresh Prince ALL the time. Still do, if I happen to notice its on.

Fresh Prince was a wonderful show and one I think everyone in my age group knows. This is a rough one, sad about it still

I first heard about this yesterday! Such an unpleasant surprise!

like many in my generation, & probably 1-2 generations after me, I know him best as "Uncle Phil" from Fresh Prince. But I also remember & enjoyed him in his small but notable roles on "Charmed" & the day time soap "The Bold & the Beautiful"

Very sad loss.

I just discovered yesterday, or maybe today, that he was the voice of Shredder in the old-school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!!
