The only actor who could rival Brad Pitt in 'eating on camera' scenes.

No doubt. Sucks.

As funny as he was (you aint gotta worry about catchin no dog, you gotta worry about a dog....CATCHIN YO arse!!!!), his scene when he catches Craig with the gun is actually a great heartfelt and powerful scene.

He will be missed.

Yeah that was actually a pretty legit scene for a movie that was a stoner comedy most of the way through. The older I get the more that one hits home.

A lot of people hate Little Nicky but I guess I was young enough to appreciate it. His scene in there always made me crack up

I'll show you crazy eyes!

RIP John - may you have unlimited 2 piece specials, with extra Hot sauce, and all the fries they will give you.

There is but one John Witherspoon, Presbyterian clergy, president of Princeton University, and the only minister to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Sad that the vast majority of this board, mostly comic book, tv series l, and trek wars nerds know John Witherspoon as an actor and not the statesman-scholar-divine.

Yeah, but this was posted on the Movie/TV board, not the Presbyterian Clergy board.

RIP. Witherspoon was a great comedic actor.

One person you can honestly say made everything he was a part of better. We will miss him.

Didn't see this thread on this board.

I loved John in everything he played in. Great guy, always funny, and I heard he was still touring as of this year, so this definitely came out of nowhere as I had no idea he was even sick.

I'm not sure they can even still bring back the Boondocks if he's not in on it.

For me, he's the funniest part of all the Friday movies. Pinky is right there as well, but not nearly as much screen time as Mr. Jones who kills it in all three movies.
