I’m sorry, I may have been mistaken about his being gay; I thought I had read an interview with him a while ago in which he talked about that. But I seem to have conflated him with Omar, the character he brilliantly played on The Wire.

I legitimately gasped when I read the news. The dude was one of the best. Absolutely loved his work. This kills me.

He used his remarkable gift to bring stories to life. He mastered his craft, and used his art to break down barriers. Many of us came to know him as Omar. To his family, I pray peace and comfort during this devastating time.
Michael K. Williams, rest in strength.🙏🏾

I deleted my post about Michael K. Williams because it included a link to the NY post & I hate them.
But he was always the best thing in every incredible project was in.
Gone way too soon.
