Ya'll remember "The Last Dragon" with that fine dude Bruce Leroy? Good, then I know you remember the guy that played "Sho Nuff"? Well unfortunately actor Julius J.Carry III, most famous for his role as “Sho Nuff” in the 1985 action-comedy “The Last Dragon,” has passed away. He was 56.
According to his mother, the Rev. Helen Carry, executive minister of Christ Universal Temple in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, he died of complications from pancreatic cancer, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The Chicago native had a TV and film career that lasted almost three decades in which he landed a steady stream of acting job on TV shows including "The White Shadow," "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.," "Tales from the Crypt," "Murder She Wrote" and "Murphy Brown."
But it was his role as Sho'nuff, accompanied by his wild, frizzed-out ’fro and outlandish version of samurai gear, demanding to know from his followers, "Who da mastah?" to which they respond, "Sho'nuff!" that he became most famous for. Carry is survived by his wife, Naomi; a brother, Ronald; and his mother, the Rev. Helen Carry. Services are being arranged
