Breaking News Michael K. Williams (Omar from The Wire) is dead

[Baldheadlogic]

I always told ppl how beautiful I thought he was and such a phenomenal actor. Every time I heard his story of addiction and recovery, you couldn’t help but love this man you probably would never meet lol (YouTube his interviews if you haven’t heard them)

But I guess sometimes joy doesn’t come in the morning Prayerfully, his soul rest in peace.

last couple lines hit different now though

Damn… that was too damn eerie.

MKW owned Omar the same way Heath Ledger owned the Joker. He WAS Omar while he was on the show. Brilliant.

 

[5th Letter]

I actually met him back in the day I just thought about that. Damn.

54-year-old....i thought he was in his 40s. Still so young. Man, we've lost a GREAT one.

So much memorable quotable dawg from the wire, probably had the most:
“money ain’t got no owners, only spenders”

He was always a GREAT interview...very compelling man...you could tell he was fighting demons tho

And I, too, thought he was one of the finest men I've ever laid eyes on

Most definitely a GOAT actor...and by all accounts, a genuinely awesome person

Damn Michael...RIP

[illestni99ainne]

I'll be honest and say i had no idea how old he was. I've seen him act for a long time but always thought he was ageless. That's how he appeared. Young & full of energy.

One of my favorite Omar scene was after Butchie got killed and Omar comes back from the Dominican Republic to handle his business bumps into Butchie s mans that survived and asks him

“ why are you alive yo?”

shit cracks me up

Drugs, man.

Drugs are still killing off black men and women.

Rest In Power to Michael K. Williams.
