HBO's 'The Deuce' isn't the type of show that will kill off its deep-rooted characters for the sake of a shocker. So imagine the disappointment when C.C, the pimp whose character was just unfolding was bludgeoned to death! One of the most interesting character arcs in season 2, his death was a rude shock for fans in 'Nobody Has to Get Hurt' this week. As it turns out, actor Gary Carr who brought the insecure pimp alive on screen was just as surprised by the incident.

"I’m just as baffled and shocked as C.C. I don’t think anyone would expect it to escalate to the point where he gets killed. C.C.’s whole thing is that he underestimates everybody. He’s just not taking into consideration that this would be his end. I think he’s very much like, Look, here’s what I need, here’s what I want, and I’m going to go and get it. The Bobby thing is very shocking, but I think it’s supposed to be that way. It really does come out of nowhere," he told Vulture in an interview.
