Leo O’Brien, best known for his portrayal of Bruce Leroy’s younger brother in Berry Gordy’s cult classic The Last Dragon, died in New York City yesterday at the age of 41.

The New York Daily News reported that the cause of death was not released.

Friend and co-star Taimak Guarriello (who played Bruce Leroy) only said, “He’s been having a little problem… He’s been through tough times… it’s unfortunate.”

O’Brien was trying to put his life together after her was shot three times in Harlem last year.

He and former co-star Guarriello were working on a short indie flick called I’ve Seen Things.
