OT: RIP Charlie Murphy - Dead at 57 from Leukemia

From The Root

Murphy was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. His childhood and his parents, Lillian and Charles Murphy, became fodder for his brother's stand-up routines. Before Charlie Murphy's own rise to fame, he served in the U.S. Navy from 1978 to 1983.

In addition to Chappelle's Show, Murphy appeared in The Boondocks, CB4, Harlem Nights and The Players Club and was a voice actor for Budweiser commercials, "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," Black Jesus and G4TV's Star Trek 2.0.

Don't really have much to say other than his skits on The Chappelle Show were some of the funniest shit I've ever seen on TV. He will be missed. Though, now he's gone to play some epic games with Prince in the afterlife...

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
