Actor Granville Adams, best known for his work on the prison drama “Oz,” passed away at 58 after a prolonged battle with cancer. News of his death was shared on Instagram Sunday by the HBO series’ executive producer and showrunner Tom Fontana. “Goodnight, sweet prince/and flights of angels sing thee to they rest,” producer-screenwriter Fontana,70, wrote along with a photo of the late actor. Adams had revealed he was battling cancer in December 2020 after sharing an Instagram post of himself in a hospital bed. Following the tragic announcement, Fontana and “Oz” star Dean Winters,57, created a GoFundMe page to help cover the dramatist’s medical costs. “As many of you know, our friend and brother Granville Adams has been diagnosed with cancer,” Fontana wrote on the fundraiser’s page. “In only a few months, the medical bills have skyrocketed to astronomical levels. Not only does he have to battle this ruthless disease, but now he has to fend off the hospital bills the insurance company refuses to pay.
