His manager says Lamont Bentley was killed in a car wreck when his car plunged off the San Diego Freeway in Los Angeles Tuesday night. Susan Ferris tells The Associated Press that Bentley was thrown from the wreckage and was the only person in the vehicle. He was 31 years old. Bentley played Hakeem Campbell, Moesha's longtime friend in the TV sitcom which starred teen pop-star Brandy. In addition, Bentley appeared in a number of films, including "The Wash" and "The Breaks." He also played Tupac Shakur in "Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story." Bentley was a native of Milwaukee and father of two daughters. He began his career in Hollywood after moving to LA with his mother, who was an aspiring singer.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 Guy was a pretty decent actor who just happened to get stuck in some bad projects. He was one of the few bright spots in "Tales from the Hood" and "Moesha" (god that show was awful). This sorta reminds me of the time that woman who played Myra on Family Matters died. Too damn young to go the way they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 yeah, his segment in "Tales" was the only decent spot in that movie...well that and the fact that Corbin Bernsen says "Nigglets"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted January 20, 2005 Horrible way to die, but the show really sucked. I'm glad my local WB station no longer airs the re-runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ant_7000 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 RIP. I always wondered why Hakeem always had NY accent when they live in LA. He was funny when he would eat Moesha's family food all the damn time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ant_7000 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 ^Thats probably because Hammer joined Death Row records briefly, and that ties into Pac and Suge Knight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shanghai Kid 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2005 This is going to sound odd, but playing Tupac in a movie is a huge jynx. Anyone remember the VH1 movie that was basically ripping off the story of Biggie/Tupac? Merlin Santana the guy from Steve Harvey played the Tupac role in that movie and he died last year. Now this, I would not want to be the guy casted to play Pac when they make a movie about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
