John Witherspoon has sadly died at the age of 77.

John also starred on shows like The Wayan Brothers, The Tracy Morgan Show, and the animated series The Boondocks.

“It is with deepest sorrow that we can confirm our beloved husband and father, John Witherspoon, one of the hardest working men in show business, died today at his home in Sherman Oaks at the age of 77,” his family said in a statement to Deadline. “He is survived by his wife Angela, and his sons JD, Alexander, and a large family. We are all in shock, please give us a minute for a moment in privacy and we will celebrate his life and his work together. John used to say ‘I’m no big deal’, but he was huge deal to us.”

Reese Witherspoon shows off her growing baby bump while hiking on Saturday (May 19) in Los Angeles.

The 36-year-old actress, who’s expecting her first child with husband Jim Toth, got in some exercise with her dad John and her two kids, Ava and Deacon.

Reese recently appeared with her parents in a Nashville court for an emergency hearing. Her mom, Mary, is suing John, claiming he married another woman while still married to her (the two have been separated since 1996).

“She’s doing okay. It’s just not something that’s easy to deal with whatever way you look at it,” a source told People. “[Reese] wants her parents to be happy, and of course she’s going to care for them – she always has – but it’s a stressful situation.”
