TimeOut

R.I.P. Michael K. Williams

While I was saddened to learn of Jean-Paul Belmondo's death, it was this actor's passing that shook me. I wager nobody who's seen him as Omar Little in The Wire will ever forget - for me, one of the best parts in television and one of the best performances on the screen, ever.

Cheers

What a waste. Look at all the people that are lost to drugs, not just the famous ones.

Agreed, this was particularly harsh news to receive.

He was an excellent actor and will be missed.

Sorry!

He gave us not only Omar but Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire.

Two of the most iconic roles in television history. This is a shame.

RIP, Michael.

RIP Michael K. Williams. Passed away too young, only 54 year old.
