Wait, There’s More: Hours prior, Witherspoon’s Twitter page announced his unexpected death.
Before You Go: Over the past few decades, John made a name for himself as a stand-up comedian and starring in the Friday franchise, “Wayans Brothers” and “The Boondocks” TV series.
Witherspoon was perhaps best known for his role as Ice Cube’s grumpy dad in the 1995 breakout hit Friday. He also appeared in the sequels Next Friday and Friday After Next, and was expected to reprise his role in the long-gestating final installment of the franchise titled Last Friday. Witherspoon also voiced Gramps on the cult animated series The Boondocks. (Deadline)
