Share

“30 Rock” actor Grizz Chapman is sending an SOS.

Chapman, who played Tracy Morgan’s bodyguard and assistant on the Alec Baldwin-Tina Fey comedy, has lost his home suddenly after a truck crashed into it.

According to NBC4 in Washington, Chapman’s home of two years at the Moorings of Occoquan Condominiums off of Gordon Boulevard near Woodbridge Virginia was destroyed when a freight truck slammed into it Monday morning.

Chapman, luckily, was not home at the time. He told NBC4, “My neighbor called screaming and crying and concerned because everybody thought that I was downstairs.”

Chapman is living in a hotel until his insurance company evaluates what was damaged. He said he has nowhere to live otherwise, and hopes he helps get soon. The apartment was filled with “30 Rock” memorabilia.

According to reports, Chapman received a kidney transplant in July 2010. The actor suffers from severe hypertension and had been undergoing dialysis treatments prior to the transplant.
