RIP Grizz Chapman: ’30 Rock’ Star Dead at 52
Published May 23, 2026 at 3:00 am
We can’t believe we’re writing this. Grizz Chapman, the beloved actor from NBC’s hit comedy ’30 Rock,’ has died. He was 52.
The news dropped Friday when his longtime rep and cousin confirmed his death. Chapman played the hilariously deadpan Dotcom McFinnegan on the Tina Fey-created series, and honestly? He was comedy gold. That dry delivery, those perfectly timed one-liners — the guy could make you lose it without even trying.
Chapman was a total pro too. Beyond ’30 Rock,’ he showed up in everything from ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ to a bunch of other TV spots. He had that rare gift of being the supporting player who somehow steals every scene.
His rep and family are keeping details under wraps for now, so we don’t have specifics on what happened. But the entertainment world is definitely feeling this loss today.
