Everybody Hates Chris Actor Ricky Harris Dies At 54.

2016 death train keeps right on chug-chug-chugging along, Yesterday we received word that comedian/actor Ricky Harris, best known for his roles on Everybody Hates Chris and Moesha, died suddenly from a heart attack. One of Harris’ best friends is rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg who hails from Long Beach California just as Ricky.

Here’s more from our folk over at the L.A. Times.

“He made his acting debut in the 1993 drama “Poetic Justice,” which starred Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur. Two years later he appeared in “Heat,” a heist film directed by Michael Mann.

Harris appeared on TV series such as “Moesha” and Chris Rock’s “Everybody Hates Chris,” where he played the charming neighborhood ne’er-do-well, Malvo. Other recent appearances included roles on the 2015 dramedy “Dope” and “The Tracy Morgan Show.”

Harris was also known for doing raunchy skits on the albums of rapper Snoop Dogg, a childhood friend from Long Beach. (The pair sang in their church choir together.)

Snoop Dogg posted a short, mournful video to Instagram calling the actor “my big brother, my homeboy” and a “Long Beach original” — saying that he was “on his way to heaven now.”

Harris is survived by his mother, his ex-wife and two daughters.”

Here’s Snoop Dogg speaking on the loss of his dear friend.
