How sad to die so young! I didn't recognize the name, so I did a Google search, and he looks really familiar.

It just happened yesterday.

To me, Julius Carry will always be Angela's father that gave Shawn a hard time on "Boy Meets World."

It's a true shame he's gone now.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Carry.

I completely forgot that he was on 2 Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.

He was only on there during the short first season as Bill the guy who owned the Pizza Place. Loved him on Brisco County and I enjoyed his appearances on BMW. His scenes with Eric were hilarious!

R.I.P. Julius.

Holy crud. Pervis Jackson died? Dammit. And I KNEW Phil Guy! I'm done. I declare a moritorium on death amongst African-American performers for the rest of the year.

To me too! One of Rider's best episode is the second to last, 'Angela's Ashes' when she has to decide between going to Europe for a year with her father or stay with Shawn! Sad but great performance.
