Waymond Lee Dead: 'Workaholics' Actor Was 72

Waymond Lee, best known for his role on Comedy Central’s “Workaholics,” has died. He was 72.

TMZ was the first to do that report the news and received confirmation of Waymond Lee’s passing through his wife, Diane Lee, and his sister, Norine Lee. The actor died on December 18 after a long battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gerigs disease, a nervous system disorder that breaks down the nerves in the body, causing muscles to weaken.

Lee was first diagnosed with a brain disease in October, but tests earlier this month revealed it was ALS.

Waymond Lee appeared in 44 episodes of the Emmy-nominated comedy “Workaholics” as Waymond, an often quiet and unassuming co-worker of the show’s main trio of strange roommates. The workplace sitcom ran for 86 episodes from 2011-2017 and followed three Southern California slackers, played by Blake Anderson, Adam Devine and Anders Holm, who as a collective were waggingly referred to as the “Workaholics.”

According to TMZ, Waymond Lee’s family described him as a “sentimental person” with a soft heart who never openly complained about working long hours.

In addition to starring in ‘Workaholics’, Waymond Lee had uncredited appearances in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, ‘Bullet Train’, ‘The Cleaning Lady’, ‘Superstore’, ‘The Laundromat’, ‘American Bistro’, ‘ The House”, “Other People”, “Shameless”, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, “How I Met Your Mother”, “Dexter”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Iron Man 2”, “Angels & Demons” and ‘Bones’, including his role as Senator Yinui in ‘Veep’.

Waymond Lee is survived by his wife Diane Lee and his sister Norine Lee.
