According to TMZ, Johnson, who was best known for his performance as the petty thief Ezal was reportedly been found unresponsive in a shop earlier this month and rushed to hospital. No cause of death has been confirmed, the outlet reports.
Johnson’s career received a big break in 1990 when he was cast in hit comedy House Party and as a result, started performing standup around Los Angeles.
Another of his most prominent roles was in cult comedy The Players Club, which was directed by his Friday co-star, Ice Cube. The Players Club also stars a number of other prominent stars who have recently passed including Bernie Mac, Charlie Murphy, Tiny Lister and Michael Clarke Duncan.
