The Wire’ actor Michael K. Williams found dead in NYC apartment

[militantmidget]

Man, just………F*CK!

Never watched The Wire but knew he was a show stopper on there.

Became a personal fan of his in the movie about Bessie Smith when he co-starred with Queen Latifah.

For me, that’s when I knew his range was limitless.

Man, how you privy to this info so soon?

If you have HBO Max, you need to start watching The Wire THIS WEEK. It is THE BEST tv show ever made. It is that good. You can thank me later.

 

[g0nbad real bad]

Damn man that's like a
family member died.
Rest in peace my brother.

I cosign every bit of this post.

 

[power lord]

Damn R.I.P

 

[slowmotion]

I never did like "THE WIRE".
I just got tired of the Black = Ghetto = Drugs tropes.
And White Folks' (especially Liberals) endless fascination with US in that environment.

With that said,
Considering Williams' life story,
He being a BLACK Man,
And GAY on top of that,
I'm really not surprised.

I'm sure he never got over his molestation experience.
Even in his Adult life.

Great Actor.
Shit is So Sad.

Did he ever come out as gay?

 

[O.J PIMPSON]

RIP to Michael.

Damn. So he had a beef with him and that's why he acting like he did. Meanwhile, we in the age where people gladly cheering on deaths of those who they never met and it's all cool but 50 the problem.

Yea Im not mad at 50 for not being fake sad over someone who was cool with his enemy

But why say anything at all? You don't like him but you went out of your way to mock his death, and his lady directing episodes of your fucking show?? Have respect for her at least and shut the fuck up.

RIP our brother. Gone too damn soon.

 

[bxclark]

[militantmidget]

THAT'S A 55 YEAR OLD MAN OUT THERE GETTIN IT IN ✔️
RIP

 

[smoovejazz]

And just because he played a gay character doesn't mean he was gay. That brother had a woman

Even if he was gay, so fucking what? Has nothing to do with him being a great actor, or with how he died and why.

RIP to him.

Fentanyl is nothing to play with. I remember when Prince died from an overdose. This is the other pandemic we should be talking about.

 

[Riggz]

Damn...this one hurts. Such a talented brother. He was incredible in The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. Rest in Paradise brother.

That Omar Little role was epic like Mouse in Devil in a Blue Dress.

This is beyond sad and shocking to hear.We frequented the same restaurants in Brooklyn. Such a great and versatile actor.The Wire,Hap & Leonard, Boardwalk Empire and Motherless Brooklyn and thats just naming a few things he blessed his talent with.He will be greatly missed.

For those that haven’t watched Lovecraft Country, watch it. Every roll I saw him in he killed. This one is tough. He narrated a lot of things as well. We lost a talented brother for real. You never know what the next man is struggling with. Rest In Peace

 

[Biggillanoyz]

R.I.P. to brother Williams. A very talented actor that left us with one of the most interested and compelling characters in tv history as Omar.

 

[CoTtOnMoUf]

Great scene when Dunn Pernsley
first met Chalky White.
