I grew up on Fresh Prince. Seen every episode at least 10 times. This really sucks. The man was great, even after Fresh Prince.
RIP to a true legend for this generation.

Very sad to hear this But when you think about it , his age (40s-60s , a danger zone for men) and excess weight....not saying it was the cause of death but it could've been a factor.

I wanted to cry when I heard the news and then I looked on the Internet to see if it's true and it is.
RIP Uncle Phil.

I will miss Mr. Avery. Rest in peace, sir. And this clip...without fail..makes me cry each and every damn time I see it. Mainly because I didn't really have a father figure in my life until I was well into my teens. And it also wasn't my real father.

From Townsend Coleman (Original voice of Michaelangelo) "Oh my goodness... worked for 10 years with this dear man as Master Shredder on the original TMNT... what a huge loss for family, friends, co-workers and fans! Terribly saddened to hear of James' passing... wow."

Very sad to hear this But when you think about it , his age (40s-60s , a danger zone for men) and excess weight....not saying it was the cause of death but it could've been a factor. It's reported he was in for heart surgery, so it's most liklely the case. Tremendously sad story about his wife.

James was my teacher my protector & the most magnificent actor. We're feeling his loss very deeply. He'll always be apart of me #JamesAvery

I know it's the writing team, but the way they had Uncle Phil evolve over the show to eventually love and respect Will was really well done. James Avery did an impeccable job at conveying the warmth of the character. RIP.
