...died on Monday 21st November 2011 at the age of 93.
Patrice O’Neal, a stand-up comedian who boisterously took on controversial topics like race, AIDS and his own struggle with diabetes, died on Tuesday.
He died in a hospital in the New York City area from complications of a stroke he suffered on Oct. 19, his agent, Matt Frost, said.
“See, I’ve got to lose weight now to stay alive, and that’s not enough motivation for me,” Mr. O’Neal said in one of his television specials on Comedy Central.
At 6-foot-4 and about 300 pounds, Mr. O’Neal commanded the stage with not only his bulk but also his confrontational style. He was loud and unpredictable, frequently veering away from prepared material with a curse-laden segue.
Mr. O’Neal’s reputation for brash honesty led many to call him a comic’s comic. He could alienate audiences and celebrities alike, both of whom he mocked relentlessly.
He was quick to dismiss his detractors. “Liars don’t like me,” he told Punchline magazine, which covers the comedy world. “They don’t want to be given anything straight.”

Blink and you'll miss him, but he's the State Police Captain in the tent when Trautman first shows up...The Drifter said:Which character did he play in First Blood?
The TV broadcast version of "First Blood" has A LOT of extra footage of the field headquarters scenes so it's possible he has more screen time (and possibly some dialogue).Rocket Surgeon said:Blink and you'll miss him, but he's the State Police Captain in the tent when Trautman first shows up...
