I pray to God he is at peace. He blessed us with his Acting. One of my favorite episodes of Moesha is when her father told him he look at him like another son and was family. What a touching episode. Even make a Thug Cry like myself
What happened to black sitcoms? Fresh prince, moesha, Martin, Roc, family matters, Cosby show, sister sister, a different world, Thea, the Parker’s, living single, the Jefferson’s. There used to be so many good shows… now we’re left with “reality” tv
Just to sum it up all those shows African Americans in a positive way therefore the had to go because it really deep Google it they sabotaged all these people or just the main characters Bill Martin all of them it’s sad
I had a friend also crash his car at a high rate of speed. It tears you up inside to know you’ve told them to slow down so many times before. You tell them that they’ll kill someone or themselves. When it happens you almost want to say “I told you so” but your friend is gone. Nothing else you can say.
You didn't really get to the meat of his death. He just had an argument with his girlfriend and went barreling down and around the mountains of LA. I've seen so many accidents here..... everyone should know this. Emotions can literally drive someone to their death
I grew up watching Lamont and being in awe of his talent. He was a capable, gifted, anr handsome actor. I recently re-watched Family Matters out of nostalgia and Lamont's performance as a bully turned bone marrow recipient brought me to tears. 😢 His loss is a devastating one.
@@purplebutterflies6824yeah but everybody knows no one drops they kids off more with the grandparents more than the mama .. when Dads watch our kids we act silly with them and have a blast. Women drop the kids off at they mama for the club.. work.. and everything else outside being a grandparent.. than still have the nerve to holla about child support when the grandma got the kid more than the mama.. 🤦🏽♂️ I won’t limp all females into one but majority of single moms out here flexing like they really hold it all down 24-7 but we all know different.
@@demariomac7200 The previous comments are talking about when a man raises his child, they cannot say they are babysitting because that is their child. You cannot babysit your own child. Raising a child is the bare minimum for a father and mother to do. You say you won’t generalise but saying words such as most is a generalisation. The single moms that give the parents to their grandmother guess what…the father still ain’t in the picture. When mothers watch the kids there is that societal pressure that they have to be perfect. They can’t be awarded or praised for the bare minimum. I saw a video about how dads have no idea when their child/ren’s birthday days are or even their allergies but the only mother in that video answered every question perfectly. Who her daughter’s best friend even. She could even answer when the daughter’s best friend was born. Her husband aka the father couldn’t even remember that their daughter’s birthday was yesterday. When a mother raises a child she has to be everything and know everything not just be ‘silly’ and ‘goof’. Again I’m not saying most fathers are like this.
Didn't know you had passed you was definitely a good actor enjoyed you on Moesha may you rest in peace my heart and prayers go out to your family and Friends🙏✝️☮❤😌
RIP Brother Lamont Bentley. You're gone but not forgotten. We were the same age. I always thought he shared a striking resemblance to Tupac Shakur. 👑👑👑
this reminds me of kanye and his car accident. overworked himself so hard that he ended up falling asleep behind the wheel and it’s the only thing i can imagine it being for lamont.
Well it's hard to say. Hard for them to determine exactly what injuries were caused by him being ejected out of the car and what injuries were caused by being hit by the five cars. Depends how fast the car was going when he was ejected as well. A lot of factors. So no you probably won't find an answer to your question but I hope I made some sense of it for you.
That's the worse part of his passing ... knowing that he was in or ran over by 5 cars. Can you imagine the physical damage to his body after being ejected and then hit by so many cars. He was too good of a person to imagine that level of trauma. 💔
O me god mi didn't know he passed 😭 until now I'm just seeing it on tube 😭😢😮😮 may his soul sleep in 🕊️✌️ Jah know He's gone by not forgotten 😢 🕊️ high 😳 coming from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💕🙏🙏🙏
A father doesn’t 'babysit' their own child, they parent/ care for their child. 🙄 Babysitting happens with other people's children. It isn't the mother's child that the father 'bwbysits', it's his own child. I can't believe I am having to write this comment in 2023.
I have 2 kids. When mom wants to go out, I babysit my kids. Calm down lol "baby" "sit", to sit with baby. Simple English. Can't believe I'm writing this in 2023 😂
Up until that 2pac All EYEZ ON ME Biopic came out Lamont Bailey played PAC the best to me...An Tales from the hood scared the livin hell outta me when it first came out
My dawg chill will worked at the 711 off that exit and seen the crash. He said it was ugly the car flipped three times after it hit a bank and Lamont was thrown some 40 yards back onto the freeway ...what happened after that is crazy. Rest up Lamont. He was sober too so idk what happened...will said he tried switching lanes but a car didn't let him over so he sped up to get off the exit but just couldn't regain control
In listening to the details it sort of makes me wonder if that move wasn't intentional. It's impossible to know what a person is feeling internally. I hope that's not the case of course. May he RIP⚘️❤️
He definitely was my favorite actor especially that krazy k role in tales the hood classic they don't give black actors enough credit i don't nobody else could of pulled off that role rest up your talent is missed
I USED TO TRAVEL THAT SAME ROAD AND SUFFERED FROM MOTION SICKNESS WHEN DRIVING AND FOUGHT BEING SLEEPY ALL THE TIME AND THE BUMS THEY INSTALLED THERE WOULD WAKE ME UP IN TIME OR I WOULD HAVE MET THE SAME FAITH. I AM ALSO FROM MILWAUKEE !
Lamont Bentley would have turned 50 years old today on his heavenly birthday. I really wish that he would still be alive right now. Lamont and Brandy had a good chemistry together on the Moesha TV Show. I still can't not believe that he's gone from this world. 18 years has been a long time since his passing. He's still will be dearly missed. Happy Heavenly 50th Birthday to you Lamont Bentley. May continue to Rest In Peace. October 25, 1973 - January 19, 2005. 😢👼

Yep. Gone before their time.

He is forever missed! He was one of my favorites on Moesha. May he continue to rest in peace 😞
Same bro. He was funny always hungry always tryna be a different type of man from his father. Loved moesha since day one.
What’s he gonna do, come back to life 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️

@@PEACE_HAIRGREASE that’s my take on it too. I feel like the same has happened with our music.

@macmac7400Hakeem did?
@macmac7400damn
I realize some people want to go out that way. You can talk all you want deep down inside they no what they want.
SO TRUE I had friend die the same way smh
I liked how he switched up from good dude in Moesha but gangsta in Tales from the Hood
Were you a fan
I was thinking the same thing
He had range
I know right I miss the 80s and 90s I wish I could bring back the hands of time ❤
Yeah them 70 babies had some of the best actors in the 90s that's for sure
He was incredible in Tales From The Hood. A powerful performance.
Riteeeee
I agree. He should've beat Tom Hanks that yr for Saving Private Ryan ....
Still hunted by that movie 😂
Right on 👍🏾🤛🏾
💯definitely a great actor for that
His comedic timing on Moesha was pure gold
👍🏾🤛🏾
So sad to lose him so young...
He was a very good actor. I'm actually watching Moesha reruns as we speak 🩵🩵🩵
Same
He was the absolute stand out performer in Tales from the Hood. A pleasant surprise - he was incredibly talent.
Talented
@@TiaaBankssyup tru
His was an amazing actor... Loved him💔 Thank you for uploading this🙏🏾

Unfortunately, 18 years ago. 😢
Swear like wth😢 PIP KING❤
On me to this wild asf everybody dead
Great name. Lamont Bentley. Sounds like a star to me.
Lamont was his middle name. Artimus was his first name
He was a gem in the entertainment industry💯✊🏾 RestNPeace
I didn’t know he’s done all of the movies and shows. He sure would’ve of been at the top by now. Wow 😢
Man when you get older life hits you. He looks so much younger and youthful versus when I was a boy and use to watch Moesha.
When i watch the show to this it hard to think he is gone.
He was a blessing so sad what happened to him 😢🙏🏾😢
I remember I met him back in the day at a Mall in LA. Bruh was respectful! R.I.P
You didn't really get to the meat of his death. He just had an argument with his girlfriend and went barreling down and around the mountains of LA. I've seen so many accidents here..... everyone should know this. Emotions can literally drive someone to their death
What a great actor!!! I hate that he is no longer with us! Rest In Peace my brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
RIP Mr Bentley. Gone Way too soon.
He was so handsome. So sad. 💔 😢
Tea chocolate 🍫 and fine ❤❤❤
Man never knew, rest well in the spiritual realm of life
He was such a versatile actor. Loved him as Krazy K on “Tales From The Hood”
His death still hurts to this day.
I had the biggest crush on him when I was growing up.
Right. I was like that too when Romeo from a Steve Harvey show got killed as well
RIP 🙏🏼 Lamont Bentley 😢🙏🏽RIP
He played a underrated 2Pac. RIP! Gone waaaay too soon.

I think he fell asleep at the wheel while driving, that's the only thing I could think of why he was speeding and went through the fence.
Wheel?

U deserved your flowers my boy a while back🙏🏾✊🏾
What a amazing brother💯 ❤️🙏🏽
GREAT ACTOR
Mann, his death was a big blow!
Poor guy.. rip. Can't find the answer to this anywhere. Was he dead before the first car hit him? Or could he have lived if the 5 cars didn't hit him?

Depends how fast the car was going when he was ejected as well. A lot of factors. So no you probably won't find an answer to your question but I hope I made some sense of it for you.

In Tales from the Hood, he brought that character to life.
R.I.P. young man. Fame never changed him.
I love him he was talented
I loved him he was a good actor rip my brother
I binged watched Moe during the pandemic and forgot how great it was! 😢 take me back to the 90s…
What an incredibly talented man! He dabbled in some of everything. Certainly brought back memories from my childhood. I hate he died so tragically.
I remember he came to our school ( Webster Middle) in Milwaukee. Everyone was so excited!
I think this guy is where Ray j got his character from this guy it's so similar
Lamont was real cool an smart dude.. every so often he would come back to Miltown just to kick it.
RIP Lamont
He was beyond talented…we really lost some great ones!!!!
Forever missed

He died badly r.i.p
He lost control speeding and crashed on the LA highway and wasn’t wearing his seatbelt damn😔rip
As far as TV couples go,I say Hakeem and Moesha would been a great couple.
So sad 😢

Hope his two daughters are doing well.
