Recently starring in Transformers as a used car salesman and Ocean’s 13 (12, 11 also), Mac will surely be missed.

The comedian has 4 new movies in post-production status, according to IMDB.com, so we’ll be seeing a bit more of Bernie over the next year or so.

“Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital,” his rep told Usmagazine.com in a statement. “No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.” Read the full story at USmagazine.com

The untimely death comes at a fairly young age for Mac, who has made a name for himself as a stand-up comedian (e.g. Kings of Comedy tour), a TV family man his self-titled “The Bernie Mac Show” and various other acting roles. It was only a few weeks ago, when Bernie Mac was last in the national headlines, after making some not so comforting jokes at an Obama political fundraiser.

Here is a classic clip of Bernie Mac’s comedy routine (over 18).
