Actor From Eminem's "8 Mile" Found Dead
An aspiring Ohio actor who appeared in Eminem's 8 Mile was found dead on November 26.
According to reports, De'Angelo Wilson was found after apparently hanging himself in the back room of a Los Angeles business.
Police say it took a week to locate and notify Wilson's next of kin, his mother. Things took an even more somber turn when she revealed that she did not have the money to bring her son's body back home.
In a gesture of extreme kindness, Wilson's friends, including the real Antwone Fisher, stepped in and helped her out.
In addition to 8 Mile, Wilson also appeared in Antwone Fisher, played "DJ Iz" in 8 Mile, and had small roles in The Salon, CSI: NY, Outside Man, and others.
