Rudy Ray Moore - His role in B*A*P*S was one of the rare occasions when he appeared on film not as his famous alter-ego Dolemite, but this foul-mouthed comedian and R&B singer made a few more appearances in cult or straight-to-video films in the 1990s and 2000s. The 81-year-old died in 2008 of complications from diabetes, just months after co-star Bernie Mac. (Photo:  Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
