Bernard Jeffrey McCullough (5. Oktober 1957 – 9. August 2008), besser bekannt unter seinem Künstlernamen Bernie Mac, war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Komiker. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Chicagos South Side, erlangte Mac als Stand-up-Comedian Bekanntheit. Er gehörte zusammen mit Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer und D. L. Hughley zu den „Original Kings of Comedy“. Nach einer kurzen Moderation der HBO-Show „Midnight Mac“ übernahm Mac kleinere Filmrollen. Seine bekanntesten Filmrollen waren die des Frank Catton in der Neuverfilmung von „Ocean’s Eleven“ und die des Titelcharakters in „Mr. 3000“. Er war der Star der „Bernie Mac Show“, die von 2001 bis 2006 lief und ihm zwei Emmy-Nominierungen als Bester Hauptdarsteller in einer Comedyserie einbrachte. Zu seinen weiteren Filmen zählten Hauptrollen in „Booty Call“, „Friday“, „The Players Club“, „Head of State“, „Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle“, „Bad Santa“, „Guess Who“, „Pride“, „Soul Men“, „Transformers“ und „Madagascar 2“. Mac litt an Sarkoidose, einer entzündlichen Lungenerkrankung, bei der sich kleine Zellknötchen in den Lungenorganen bilden. Er gab jedoch 2005 an, dass die Erkrankung in Remission sei. Er starb am 9. August 2008 an den Folgen einer Lungenentzündung.
