Bernie Mac

How I could a do a list like this and NOT include Bernie Mac!? The Mac Man blew up big after years of taking on small roles in movies, and stand up.  Before we knew it, the comedian became a household name thanks to “The Original Kings of Comedy” and his own series, “The Bernie Mac Show.” In 2008, Mac passed away unexpectedly from complications stemming from his condition, sarcoidosis, which was complicated by pneumonia. Mac had sarcoidosis for years and publicly acknowledged it three years before his death when he thought it was in remission. Mac was 50 at the time of his passing. He now has a street named after him in the Englewood community in Chicago.
