Tommy Ford — who famously played Tommy on the ’90s sitcom Martin — is on life support at an Atlanta hospital after an aneurysm ruptured in his abdomen … his wife tells TMZ.

Ford has been hospitalized since Sunday and his health has declined ever since.

He is currently on life support and is not expected to make it through the day.

Earlier, Ford’s friend, Anthony Anderson, tweeted that Ford had died — but at the time, he was still alive.

Ford’s wife, Gina, says the family is still praying for him.

Tommy starred in all 5 seasons of Martin as the title character’s level-headed best friend, who often played a straight man to Martin’s crazy antics.

He also appeared on New York Undercover, The Jamie Foxx Show and The Parkers.

Ford also wrote children’s books that promoted drug-free and violence-free lifestyles.

Reginald Ballard, best known as “Bruh Man” from Martin, opens up about the tragic and unexpected passing of Thomas Mikal Ford. Ballard explains how Thomas only went to the hospital for a simple knee surgery and never made it back home.

Reginald also talks about the iconic Nino Brown episode of Martin and reveals a surprising behind-the-scenes secret — the dog in the episode was originally supposed to be a real dog, not the fake prop viewers saw on TV. He breaks down why the change happened and how the cast reacted on set.
