“Rest in peace Waymond Lee. I am gutted,” Devine wrote on Instagram. “He was such a kind man. My deepest condolences go out to his wife Diane and the rest of his family. He was always down to do whatever insane thing we wrote for him on Workaholics. He was always game. A true professional. Even though I haven’t seen him since the Workaholics days, this is hitting me like a brick to the face. When I think of our show, I think of Waymond. The older I get the more I realize what a special time that was. You will be missed Way Way!”
Lee starred in 44 episodes over the course of Workaholics‘ seven-season run. His character is known for rarely talking, despite all of the verbal and physical abuse he suffered in the office. At the end of the series finale, Waymond preaches to the three leads about the importance of friendship to which they respond, “And Waymond never shuts up!”
Lee’s other TV credits include It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Thundermans, Shameless, Veep and How to Get Away With Murder.
