RIP Michael K Williams

[EachandEveryone]

What a star he will always be Omar to me the best character from The Wire www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58470253

One of the best characters ever, from probably the best TV show ever. How sad.

Absolutely shocking!! A truly talented actor.

Loved him in The Wire and Boardwalk Empire too.

I’m so sad. Currently rewatching the Wire and he is incredible as Omar - my absolute favourite TV character in my absolute favourite show.

We're re-watching The Wire too. This is very dad 😕

*Sad

I just rewatched Hap and Leonard , loved him in it, what sad news.

He's outstanding in When They See Us as Antron's father. The depth and gravitas of a really good actor. RIP.

So sad. No cause of death yet from what I can see? Always a mark of quality to see him in anything. RIP.

The most extraordinarily good-looking man, and a superb actor.

Leaving this here, from the underrated 'Community':-

Such a talented actor. Omar is one of those characters that stays with you. Loved him in Lovecraft Country too. He could do menacing, funny and loveable all in one character. Such sad news, bless his soul

Heroin overdose.

Oh that's awful. Thought that was all behind him.

He was mesmerizing as Omar in The Wire. How very sad.

He made Omar one of the best fictional characters of all time. He always stood out in anything he appeared in. It's awful to find out that he had such problems.

Oh, so sad.

Omar was the best character in the best programme I have ever watched.

Oh, that's sad news.

A tip-top actor.

Oh, so sad.

Omar was the best character in the best programme I have ever watched.

Amen to that Wire is awesome but would have been a lot less so without Omar I used to love it when he was on screen , absolutely brilliant

Omar's court appearance is my very favourite TV scene ever. What an actor. Such sad news.

Omar: the hardest bastard you ever could meet, totally fearless, but also principled (no robbing taxpayers, wear a tie in court even if you're going to wear it somewhat unconventionally). Legend. RIP MKW.

Omar's court appearance is my very favourite TV scene ever. What an actor. Such sad news.

OMG the tie. So funny and so moving and truthful all at the same time.

This is an amazing tribute. Really moving

Ah, I did. What an incredibly powerful tribute.

Watched that before and was absolutely delighted. It's a red carpet, bish bash bosh, on to the next mic and silly question - but Wendell Pierce stays there and just gives his time, for nearly two minutes, saying all he wants to say. It's really lovely and powerful.

He was brilliant in the very overlooked 'the night of'.

A sad loss.
