Sho’nuff has passed away:

Character actor Julius Carry died Aug. 19 in Los Angeles of pancreatic cancer. He was 56.Carry appeared in more than 100 guest roles including “Hill Street Blues,” “Jag,” “Spin City” and “Moesha.”

He also appeared as the villain Sho’nuff in the cult pic “The Last Dragon.” Other feature credits included “The New Guy,” “Moving,” “World Gone Wild,” “The Man With The Red Shoe” and “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh.” Born in Chicago, his first screen credit was in “Disco Godfather.” Carry is survived by his wife Naomi.

Also Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones passed as well:

Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones, a longtime member of Congress and most recently a stalwart supporter of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, died today just after 6 p.m. Her hometown paper, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, reported earlier that the police found her unconscious in her car on Tuesday night, after seeing it weave erratically. She was seeking her sixth term in Congress. And she was a prominent member of the Congressional Black Caucus as well as a recent co-chairwoman of the Ethics Committee, which she helped to rebuild after a stormy period when the Foley page scandal rocked the House of Representatives.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends.

  • versace

    What the hell?!!?!? He had pancreatic cancer that is the same thing Patrick Swayze has and he is still alive. What stage was this guy in to die? He didn’t have Patrick Swayze money to survive?

  • Encyclopedia Brown

  • Z Phi Til I Die!!

    Wow, this is such a shock. His mom was a minister at my former church and he would come there from time to time. RIP to both of them.

  • WordtotheWise

    What a month this has been? RIP Congresswoman Tubb Jones and Sho’nuff!

  • kiki

    Rep. Tubbs Jones was a powerful woman…always had the courage of her convictions (i.e. I totally disagreed with her support of Clinton but she recently endorsed Obama…)and helped keep the House in order, literally. First black woman elected to the House of Representatives from Ohio, was born and raised in her district in Cleveland, was an activist, judge, prosecutor, was entrenched in the community and then went on to represent it in Congress to the fullest. She was also the ONLY member of the House that voted against Bush during a recent request for Iraq War funding when she blatantly called him out on his s–t for being a liar. RIP.

    Last Dragon was my movie too but no disrespect to Sho Nuff (RIP) but damn, people need to respect/understand the significance of the life of Rep Stephanie Tubbs Jones too. And I’m not even from Ohio…

  • Nothing Nice

    RIP TUBBS & Sho Nuff

    the length of blk life is truly short.

  • Book Worm

    RIP to both of them.

    Last Dragon was my movie. Remember when Bruce Leroy got “the glow” at the end?

  • Southern L.A. GAL

    Rest in peace to both of them

    I love the strength of Tubbs standing up aganist Bush…

    Also loved the Last Dragon…. His part was my favorite… RIP!!

    R.I.P. ShoNuff and Congresswoman Tubbs :(

  • CJ

    R.I.P. and black people start going to the Dr. regularly and get these conditions checked! We are at a greater risk of certain cancers like colon and prostate! He was still very young and Cogresswoman Tubbs was too! Lets take charge of our health sickness and death ahs got to go in the Black community and the world!

  • BlackMan

    Yo this month has hit us hard. I loved the last dragon, it’s bootlegged on my computer right now.RIP

    I didn’t really like Congresswoman Tubbs during the Democratic race, she was often on CNN, even though she could pass for Whoppi Goldberg sister, she was a strong Democratic voice.

    What the hell?!!?!? He had pancreatic cancer that is the same thing Patrick Swayze has and he is still alive.

    ***********************************************

    Pancreatic cancer ain’t no punk. It has nothing to do with money. Patrick Swayze MIGHT be one of the few people who kicks it and if that happens he is a very lucky man.

    R.I.P. to both families but I still laugh when I watch The Last Dragon. That Glow is in heaven now. Cancer is a terrible thing to go through, it just seems like we are losing alot of our young black entertainers left and right, we need to seek health care on a regular basis.

  • michelle

    fox news is so foul. they were implying that because the congresswoman was found slumped over in her car, her death had something to do with drugs.
