The world recently lost actor Tommy Ford after he suffered a ruptured stomach aneurysm that led to his death last Wednesday. Ironically, the Martin star talked about death shortly before he passed in an interview obtained by TMZ.

"More than half of my life is over," he told Xcellence Community Magazine founder Angella Banks. "I got more years behind me than I have ahead of me... Half of my life is over and I'm OK with that."

"It's not about how much I got left," he continued. "It's how much I accomplished while I was here."

Hear the actor talk about leaving his legacy in the audio recording, below:
