Michael K Williams found dead at 54.

Gutted by this one.

Omar was a revolutionary character, the first black gay gangster depicted on tv.

Such a loss.

I was a bit taken aback when I read this. I hadn't heard much about him since the wire. Didn't realise that he had a drug problem.

His death has also made me see 50Cent in a new light. 50Cent used his death to promote his TV show. Who does that?!

So sad. That courtroom scene where he lounges back in his chair and cheerfully admits to profiting from the misery and fear caused by the drug trade... “just like y’all”... brilliant.

Yes!

I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase.

That tie he bought with the court clothes money

I loved him in Hap and Leonard with James Purefoy.

Loved him in Boardwalk Empire. Everything I have seen him in, I have liked. Shame really, that his addiction took him.

So sad. He was outstanding as Omar in The Wire, fantastic actor all round.
