Life and career

Chapman was born Mack D. Chapman in Brooklyn on April 16, 1974.[2][3] In his commentary for the episode "Tracy Does Conan", Tracy Morgan revealed that they met when Chapman was working as a bouncer at a strip club. Chapman and fellow 30 Rock actor Kevin Brown were featured in season six on an episode of Hidden Potential, a home remodeling show on HGTV.[4]

Chapman received a kidney transplant in July 2010. He had severe hypertension and had been undergoing dialysis treatments before the transplant.[5] Due to his battle with his kidney disease, on March 31, 2010, Chapman signed on to be a spokesperson for the National Kidney Foundation.[6] He appeared on The Dr. Oz Show in December 2009 to raise awareness about hypertension and kidney disease.[7]

He created his own series of YouTube videos known as Grizz Chroniclez featuring him in variety sketches. In 2012, he was in production with writers Sam Morgan and Chadwick Prima for his own series called The Lair, based on the comic store Chapman owned in the Bronx.[8][9][10]

Chapman lived in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Woodbridge, Virginia. On December 2, 2024, his home was destroyed when a crash sent a tractor-trailer slamming into it. Chapman was not home but many of his belongings were damaged.[11]

Chapman died on May 22, 2026, at the age of 52.[12][3][13]
