Marcus Paulk Breaks Silence On Moesha Co-star Lamont Bentley's Death: "I Was With Him A Week Before" 

I appreciate him talking about Andell. You don’t hear no body talk about her loss

i didn't realize how many people we lost from the cast of Moesha. wow.

Man it's refreshing to see a young knowledgeable young man all grown up now RESPECT!

He still looks the same just older. Rest easy to everybody that passed away 🙏🏻🕊️

Wow he lost so many people that he knew! God bless him! The way he lights up remembering his memories with them is comforting. 😊

Shout out to Yvette, Bernie, Lamont & Merlin.. missing them all.

R.I.P. to Lamont Bentley... I met him in 1989 when my family moved to West 27th street in Los Angeles.. I think he was about 14 years old and I was 9. Lamont and his friends was so welcoming to my family coming in the neighborhood. We use to have so much fun on the block. When Lamont started acting we were so HAPPY for him. He would come to block with Merlin Santana R.I.P. and other actors. We would go crazy. So when he died my little cousin was so upset for a long time. I miss you.. We miss Lamont and never forget you. 😊

Hold up look at the list Yvette Wilson Bernie Mac Merlin Santana Lamont Bentley 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 Honestly grateful they blessed us with their talents to give us memories through tv. One of the best 90s sitcoms

Glad to see him alive and looking healthy. We all watched Moesha and The Parkers faithfully! Great interview CH

Lamont was definitely going places because he was a great actor.

I used to work with his Mom at the National Research Group in Los Angeles and she and I would sing a little together at work and co-workers would tell us we should be out there singing instead of working at that job. Loyce told me her son was on the Moesha show and at first I didn't believe her until Lamont visited her at the office one day. She invited me to attend church with her at West Angeles and I had a good time worshipping with her at church. Continue to rest easy brother Lamont and thank you for sharing your talents while you were here on earth. 🕊️🙏🏽

Lamont Bentley was definitely meant to Metro Boom on the big screen. His portrayal as Krazy K in ‘Tales from the Hood’ still gives me goose bumps 🤟🏾😤🤏🏾

Good hearing his experiences with Lamont. Sad, I just noticed quite a few cast members from the show are no longer with us. RIP to them all🙏🏽

I still watch Moesha as it’s very sentimental for me. I always loved watching Myles (Marcus) dance. Such a talented brother. That was such a good show and it was sad when Lamont died so tragically after Merlin. Continuous rest and peace to all the ones we lost 🙏🏾

He's so Cali why don't we see him more? #rip Lamont, Yvette, Merlin & Bernie

I wish Lamont was talked about more! So talented🥺

He’s grown up. To handsome. I miss them all too. I watched them all. Very funny and talented people. None will ever be forgotten.💐💐💐💐

Dude is genuine. It’s all in his face.

The passing of these actors is difficult to accept. I, for one, grew up watching Moesha and fell in love with the entire cast. My memory of Bernie, Lamont, Andell and O'hage (sorry for the spelling) will always be fond ones.

Moesha was such a great show. Brings back sweet memories. Great to see Marcus doing well

I did commercials as a kid out here in South Central. Lamont and I had the same agent. I never got any big roles or anything, we never got to move out of the hood from my acting career lol but Lamont was like a big bro to me no matter my success or not. He was in movies and TV shows every week and still looked out for me like I was as big a star as him. We lost contact once I turned like 13, I wish I could dap him up one more time. RIP soldier.

As sad as this interview is, I love every bit of it 😢. RIP to all of those REAL ACTORS!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WERE PHENOMENAL.

You know that shit hit hard when you remember what day of the week it was 😔♥️

You can feel the closeness of the two of them. It's still affecting him.

Man, Merlin Santana and Lamont Bentley two of the first huge tv celebrity deaths of our childhoods that really hit us. If you grew up in the 90s and 2000s those losses cut deep and still do. Yvette Wilson, Bernie Mac, Ricky Harris etc too 😢

Lamont and I Went to Pulaski H.S. In Milwaukee Wisconsin 198-89. I Remember the day He Told Me He Was Moving to L.A. RIP 🙏🏾💪🏾👑

So beautiful to see him smiling as he speaks on some of those shared memories🥺

I will never forget how naturally talented he was, he just had IT, he was a special one that left us way too soon 🙏🏼❤️

I'm so glad to see this! None of the other actors from Moesha ever talk about those that have passed on. Every last one of them made a impact on that show as supporting actors and should be remembered.

Lamont and Merlin Santana 💔

Merlin Santana hadnt scratched the surface. Dude had some acting chops

Aww the way he smiles when he talks about them. You live life not realizing the affect you can have on people . May they rest .

They were trying to say that the set of Moesha was cursed because of how many people from the show died. RIP to all of them.

What BEAUTIFUL memories to have of the beautiful people he shared them with. RIP to you all.

Before people die, they literally make room to say good bye to those who their spirit is lead to. Happened with my family member, it’s like the spirit knows and will reschedule things that align in ways you don’t realize until afterwards

Marcus T. Paulk aka Myles really reminds me of my oldest cousin’s middle son that was my little cousin at first when he was a little kid. But I’m still kinda hurt when Lamont Bentley died from auto mobile accident in 2005. 😢💔🕊️👼🏾

He still looks like he did as a kid. Lamont was a great actor. RIP to others

I am glad that Comedy Hype interviewed Marcus Paulk. I felt that we fans need closure to understand how the cast felt being on the set of Moesha and felt about the passing of the fellow co-stars. That show was such a classic show. It was so different and it stood for the culture. It's hard to speak about a costar when they're no longer living and so this is special interview. I'm glad that they did this in 2023. I find it sad that it's 2023 and there's no full 6 seasons of Moesha on DVD. It was great to hear his perspective working on the set of Moesha and I'm happy that it was a positive workplace experience for him.

Rip to all of those beautiful talented people we've lost who graced our televisions for the time we had them ❤️🕊️

Very sad how a lot of the cast past away. But Lamont's death was definitely the most devastating. Prayers up 🙏🏽

Glad to see him doing well and opening up about this.

He looks sooo good! I’m glad to see him

R.I.P LAMONT BENTLEY 🤴🏽👼🏽🙏🏾💐🎤💙✊🏾💯

I'm watching Moesha everyday. Marcus as Miles was great in his role. He reminds me of my neighbor I grew up with when we were younger. Your timing was perfect Marcus and you were really, really funny. Lamont was very talented. He and Merlin Santana, who was an excellent comedic actor, will both be missed. Can't help but wonder from time to time, where would they be in their careers today.

These bodies that we are in, are only TEMPORARY! Enjoy life out here ladies & gentlemen, tomorrow is not promised...Rest Easy to all of the people that we've lost over the years, even your own family members, loved ones, & friends....Rest Easy 🕊🙏🏿🕯

I love hearing stories like that I always wonder if certain characters was cool after the show over.. Sad some of them actors who pass don’t even get as much recognition or at least a tribute from the culture Lamont Bentley , Merlin Santana , few more RIP to all them 😥

Glad to see this young brotha surviving Hollywood with such intelligence and growth. Continued success young man...

RIP to Lamont, Yvette, Bernie, and Merlin. But I love the fact he mentioned Wesley Jonathan. City Guys was my show back in the day.

" uh uh cuz see I ate twice before I came." Adele when she played on Friday lol

I was surprised hearing that he was killed and andele dying too. I felt like I grew up knowing them because they're characters were so down to earth.

I always wondered what happened to Lamont because I watched Moesha growing up but when I found out his cause of death I was devastated because he was a young man still grinding to the top of the acting game and was a great actor so he was destined to blow….

I was just thinking about Moesha and how many 90s actor and actress that passed away Rip great talent

WoW, he would have celebrated his 50th Bday this year if he was still alive...time truly flies! I pray he & the others are at peace 💝

His interviews are easy to tune into cause he’s well spoken, you can feel what he’s saying

This is another really upsetting one because me and my sister watched 'Moesha' all of the time growing up!!! I didn't know how much crazy talented funny special individuals passed away from this iconic t.v. show. Rest. in. Peace. To Lamont, Bernie, Yvn. Anyone else I missed who no longer with us. Xx :'( :-(

OMG, HE DONE GROWN UP 😂 RIP TO ALL THE ACTORS HAS TRANSITIONED TO HEAVEN 🙏🏿

R.I.P Lamont Bentley 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

We lost a lot of people from Moesha 💔🕊🕊

Nice to see young Marcus! Yeah losing Lamont was so sad still remember it RIP 🕊️

I just had the theme song to Moesha on auto play in my head after watching this. So sad that we lost the young man and the other cast members. Their memory lives on

“Lips purple, He smoking then grape swisher sweets” -Mike Epps

Rest up to everyone else who passed away such as: 👑 of Comedy Bernie Mac 🙏 Yvette Wilson 🙏 Ricky Harris (JW) 🙏 Merlin Santana 🙏 P.S. Fam look he been on that Good pack remember he did have an episode about him Smoking Marijuana 😂

Wow! So many deaths from this show that I was not aware. Rest In Heaven to them all.

I remember that episode of Martin where Marcus Paulk played Martin's kid. They was like that's your kid look at the earsssssss.

You know you're getting old when Miles has rasclart beard 😭😭😭...nah but R.I.P. Lamont Bentley aka Hakim 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊🕊🕊

Man I’m still devastated about his death! One of my favorite actors especially Krazy K role

yeah I remember him and Merlin Santana death, was very sad and unfortunate deaths, as I was a big fan of Moesha and Steve Harvey Show RIP to both

Seeing his face light up 🤎

Gone way too soon. A phenomenal actor. A gregarious and hilarious personality.

Merlin Santana and Lamont Bentley gone way too soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Can't believe it will be almost 20 years since his demise

I watched one scene on Moesha that had 3 Actors together that all passed away at different times.🙏 thanks for entertaining us.

Thanks for sharing these memories with us 🥹

Didn't know he passed, sad to hear that, RIP Lamont Bentley, and to sll the rest of one's who also passed.🙏🙏🙏🙏

What a tragedy.... Love this interview... It's sobering! Thank you for sharing a part of your story!

I'm glad this clip ended with Marcus talking about Yvette Wilson. I thought she was a breath of fresh air to whatever she was involved in. Thanks, Comedy Hype for giving a platform to celebrate her and Lamont Bentley.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's not often you meet good people in Hollywierd or in life period.

I love you Miles!!!! You are a legend in my eyes

I still watch moesha today...one of my favorite shows.....

Congrats to this young man growing up in Hollywood and being able to stay level headed. Rip to the cast that has transitioned and on a lighter note ill always remember the episode My dude played Martin son, they was twins for real. Lol

Look at Myles. 🥰💕

Remembered seeing both these guys back in the day at Virgin Mega Store.. when this guy was a kid he was very cocky and Lamont r.i.p was very flamboyant and very loud wanted to be seen always had a small entourage. I remembered the night he died i was work at the Beat Big Lez was devastated.. That was her Boy

Death is not easy smh i know the feeling ❤

Wow Marcus is all grown up! This was a good interview.

🙌🏾 *Solid words from this brother!....Comedy Hype, yall need to stop playing and get the pictures up as people talking, its not hard.* 🙄

I was an extra on Moesha for years and he's right we the extras and cast were wild. We were kicked out of Gower Studios and went over to Paramount. Lamont was cool as can be. We used to kick it with him in his trailer. Good memories.

I love what he said about life. So true🙏🏽❤️

Thank you for this I just followed him I've always loved him and wonder where he been!

Lamont Bentley one of my fav actors from childhood. I could of seen him doing great in film.

People don’t know Lamont Bentley was caked up. He invested a lot of his money in real estate and had the bag. Him and Merlin Santana, left us too soon.

I really wish they had cast Marcus Paulk on those Big Momma movies starring Martin Lawrence just like when they had him play his on "Martin".

This Was Deep. I truly appreciate this

RIP Lamont Bentley Yvette Wilson Bernie Mac Ricky Harris

We loss a lot of ppl on moesha so sad 😢

I had a HUGE crush on Marcus as a kid 😩😩 his eyes and lips were everything ❤️❤️❤️ nice to know he still looks good 👌🏾💯

He took over the episode of Martin he starred in. That was a great casting choice.
