#Quote
1I've always played older parts. When I was 19, I played 60. When I was a kid I got pleasure out of studying old people. I took joy in their idiosyncrasies. Older folk are like children. They can do and say what they want and get away with it.
#Fact
1Friends with Redd Foxx, and Marla Gibbs.
2Coincidentally, he died at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital, which bears the same name as his most famous role.
3His last two wives were more than ten years younger than him.
4Is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.
5Although he had not disappeared, nor was he hiding, when in 1996 the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show wished to use him in a sketch and were unable to locate him or his agent, the show launched a three-week nationwide "Where's Grady" search. The search's hotline received over 50,000 calls of sightings. Mayo eventually did surface and gladly appeared on the show.
6Taught drama at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta Georgia from 1996 until his death.
