LOS ANGELES (AP) – Actor Grizz Chapman of '30 Rock' said this week he needs a kidney transplant and wants to raise awareness of the dangers of high blood pressure, which led to his condition.

Chapman said he is receiving dialysis treatments and will continue to play Grizzwald the NBC sitcom. He and Kevin Brown, as the character Dot Com, appear as the two-man entourage for a hapless comedian played by Tracy Morgan. Chapman, 35, is married and has two children. He appeared on 'The Dr. Oz Show' yesterday to discuss his health. The actor said he will have the organ transplant when a match is found and he's at an acceptable weight.
