Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.

Bernie Mac, 50, was nominated for a Grammy for "The Original Kings of Comedy."

"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

Rasheed Thurmond

Y'all good? Brooklyn in the house? I'm glad. I love people from Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn," says comedian Rasheed Thurmond to a cheering audience as he strolls onto the stage.
The YouTube video flashes on Thurmond's MySpace page among smiling baby pictures. Only the countless profile posts that read "R.I.P." let on that something is wrong.
