\n\tChapman\u2019s co-star, Kevin Brown, on the series, confirmed in a Facebook post that he died Friday. \u201cI regret to inform you that Mack Chapman aka Grizz Chapman passed today,\u201d he wrote in a caption of photos of them in the show. \u201cMay he RIP.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor all seven seasons, Chapman appeared on 30 Rock<\/em>. He played Grizz Griswold, a bodyguard and member of Tracy Jordan\u2019s (played by Tracy Morgan) entourage. Meanwhile, Brown played Tracy\u2019s other bodyguard, Dot Com. Chapman and Jordan met when Chapman was working as a bouncer at a strip club and they went on to become friends.<\/p>\n

\n\tBorn on April 16, 1974, in New York City, the actor, who stands seven feet tall, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>in 2013 about the difficulties he\u2019s faced because of his height. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI mean, why can\u2019t a seven-foot guy play a doctor?\u201d he asked rhetorically. \u201cWhy can\u2019t I be a teacher? Why can\u2019t I be a football coach? Why can\u2019t I be a cab driver? Anything. Anything else than that,\u201d he said. \u201cI can cry. I can do those things that they think the big guys can\u2019t do. So just give us a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChapman has also appeared in Tom McCarthy\u2019s (Spotlight<\/em>, 13 Reasons Why<\/em>) 2014 film, The Cobbler<\/em> alongside Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi. Additional acting credits include Money Monster, Life of the Party, Blue Bloods, The Blacklist <\/em>and Common Sense Police,<\/em> among others. <\/p>\n
