Omar Dead

 
I watched “The Wire” after “Boardwalk Empire,” Williams was excellent in both, although it seemed like he was pulling on past experiences in both roles.
 
A frighteningly good actor. RIP Mr. Williams. God's speed to you and condolences to all your family and friends.

Very Respectfully.

Jeez I loved him in both The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. The man was an outstanding talent. Such a waste.
RIP

Michael K. Williams speaks with his characters:

 
[]​
​
Determined to nail his character, Williams asked a drug dealer to show him the ropes.​
​
“I’d spent a long time on the streets of Baltimore going deep into that world,” he said in 2008. “I would be out after 2 a.m., seeing fights, hearing shots fired. I needed to learn the details of how they walked, how they spoke. Baltimore is different to Brooklyn.”​
​
The role, though, wasn’t easy on Williams. While portraying Omar, he fell into addiction and “lived a double life as a doper in Newark’s most dangerous neighborhoods — doing drugs ‘in scary places with scary people,’ ” he told NJ.com in 2012. As Williams recalled, he began feeling like Omar, like a character — as he struggled with drug addiction. “I suffered from a huge identity crisis. … In the end, I was more comfortable with Omar’s skin than my own. That was a problem.”​

I get it. I've done some crazy shit to perfect my art as well. So, seeing as how MKW actually made a living off of his, whereas I only do mine as a hobby, it makes sense that he took it to that next level.
