Adams' character was an incarcerated burglar who converts to Islam during his time in prison.
“In only a few months, the medical bills have skyrocketed to astronomical levels.
The “Oz” cast and crew have remained close since the show ended its run in 2003.
“I lost my brotha today after a long battle with cancer,” Kirk Acevedo wrote onInstagram.
“I don’t do well with loss because I’m unfamiliar with it.
Yo Granny we’ll be chopping it up on the other side one day.
Until then… Rest easy my friend.”
And Dean Winterswrote: “Granville was beloved, period.
He may as well have had people throwing rose petals at his feet while he walked down the street.
A humble, beautiful soul who just elevated the afterlife to a whole new level.
You will be missed my friend.
You are my brother and I’m a better human being for knowing you.
Adams' loved ones posted on hisInstagrampage that the actor sent them a sign that he is at peace.
We knew in that moment it was Granny, spreading love as he does.”
