Michael K Williams has died, at age 54.

[Robert]

He played Omar in The Wire and Chalky in Boardwalk Empire.

I thought he was a fine actor.

54 is no age. A sad loss.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Loved him in The Wire.

RIP

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Sad news. He played the most impactful character in what is perhaps the greatest TV show in history. RIP.

Drug overdose apparently. Omar in The Wire must have been one of the most iconic anti-heroes of our time.

Ironic. Or maybe not
