Oh, Man! 30 Rock’s Grizz Chapman Has Passed Away at 52
- Who was Grizz Chapman?
- The sad news from his rep
- Remembering his 30 Rock days
We just heard some news that really hit us. Hard. It’s about someone who brought a lot of quiet joy to our screens.
Grizz Chapman, the familiar face we all knew as bodyguard Grizz from the hilarious show 30 Rock, has passed away. He was 52 years old. It feels like a sudden silence has fallen over the usually bright and zany 30 Rock aesthetic. That calm, steady presence is now missing.
His representative, Saideh A. Brown, confirmed this sad news to TMZ on May 22. It’s a tough day for fans and fellow cast members alike. We’re sending our thoughts to his family and friends right now.
Grizz wasn’t just a background character. Nope. He was a beloved part of the TGS team, always there, often with a deadpan line or a reaction that made us chuckle. His presence anchored many of Liz Lemon’s wild adventures.
It’s always tough when someone who felt like a friend on screen leaves us. He left us with so many laughs and memorable moments. We’ll be rewatching 30 Rock tonight, remembering all the good times.

Our Take
Losing Grizz Chapman feels like losing a piece of that unique 30 Rock charm. He might not have always been front and center, but his contribution was huge. He was a master of subtle humor, and his quiet strength on screen was always a welcome sight. We’ll miss seeing that familiar face. Rest in peace, Grizz.
