SAD: Actor Granville Adams Dies At Age 58!

After a lengthy cancer battle, “Oz” star Granville Adams passes away at the age of 58.

Granville Adams, the actor who portrayed Oz on HBO’s Oz, died of cancer.

Granville Adams, the actor in question, has passed away.

He is best recognized for his recurring part as Zahir Arif in HBO’s “Oz,”.

This was announced by his co-star, Kirk Acevedo, who said,

“I lost my brotha today after a long battle with cancer. I don’t do well with loss because I’m unfamiliar with it.”

“Yo Grany well be chopping it up on the other side one day. Until then…Rest easy my friend.”

It was almost a year ago that Granville Adams posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed, with the message, “F*** CANCER!”

He was survived by his wife, Christina.

May his soul rest in peace.
