RIP Omar

[2tall79]

'''The Wire''' actor Michael K. Williams dead at 54

If you saw "The Wire" or "Boardwalk Empire", you'll know who he is. One of my favorite actors gone way too soon.

Wow, so young. I enjoyed his work in "The Wire." Kept me entertained while in Afghanistan. RIP Michael...

"The Farmer in the Dell"...

"I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase."

An awesome character.

Poor dude. He was good in everything I saw him in, but of course he'll always be Omar to me.

Sorry, but his OD death gets more media attention than those deserving members of the military, whether caused by accidents or terror. Just a talented user who bought some bad stuff.

He was brilliant in Boardwalk. RIP.

Good news! There's room for both posts about remembering military deaths and those of public figures that people are familiar with.

I can't picture anyone playing Chalky White but Michael.
