Clarence Seroy

Clarence Seroy is a fictional character played by Emmanuel Yarborough on the HBO drama Oz.

Morbidly obese (the actor playing Seroy has weighed over 600 lbs.), Seroy is incarcerated for arson and is not shown to be affiliated with any specific gang while in Oz. He first appears attempting to rape inmate Franklin Winthrop, but he is told to back off by the Aryan Brotherhood. The Aryans, led by Vernon Schillinger, do this only to make Winthrop their sex slave. Seroy is then later hired by inmate Timmy Kirk to set up the burning of a Catholic church at which chaplain Father Ray Mukada resides. Seroy then informs Warden Leo Glynn, who threatens him with solitary confinement, that Kirk ordered the fire to be set. Seroy then appears for a last time being framed for the murder of Harrison Beecher, the father of inmate Tobias Beecher. Seroy is not found guilty though as he is seen in Unit B for the remainder of the season. On the extended version of Oz's finale, "Exeunt Omnes" Seroy approaches Aryan inmate James Robson threatening to rape him. Robson however puts up no fight as he is pending a transfer to Unit F, the AIDS ward and knowingly infects Seroy with HIV by consenting to being sodomized by Seroy. Clarence however learns of this only as Robson is being transferred.
