Michael Kenneth Williams Tribute | HBO

Montrose Freeman. Freddy Knight. Jack Gee. Chalky White. Ray Ray. Omar Little.
With us, Michael Kenneth Williams shared these characters. And with these characters, he shared himself - a gift we treasure today and always.

[@TalkingThrones]

One of the greats. RIP Mike...

[@MVPMoneyB]

Amen!🙏🏼 💯

[@RewindThatwithMsKay]

@Talking Thrones you ain't lying. He will be missed😔

[@VirantRoss]

*Yea, same thing that killed George Floyd killed Michael K Williams.. RIP brother!*

[@christopherbethea2344]

I met Michael in Brooklyn at my former workplace. He was instantly recognized by everyone who saw him, ("Omar is here!"), but he was so humble and gracious and he made time for anyone and everyone that approached him. His grace was as huge as his talent. RIP Brother.

[@qur4334]

I instantly appreciated Michael's genius and acting. You know Michael got his first job from Tupac Shakur you chose him for his scar.

[@Sweet_Karma]

HBO and the world lost an incredible talent; he's one of the greatest actors of our time. Michael Kenneth Williams was phenomenal as Omar Little, Chalky White and Freddy Knight. You have no idea what you're missing if you haven't seen The Wire, Boardwalk Empire or The Night Of... hands down some of the best TV shows ever produced! Rest In Paradise

[@pollardk.1116]

Indeed.

[@stevenodonnell6318]

He also played 2pacs brother in bullet, apparently 2pac hand picked him for the role

[@worldapart90]

He's so good in Hap & Leonard too

[@thaddperkins]

as much as i loved Lovecraft Country, you can't replace anyone like MKW. He killed it as Montrose. Sad to lose an amazing talent like that but his work will always love on. For those needing help try you best to ask. it's a journey you never stop but it's a battle you can win!

[@glamsaucy]

OMG, yes he killed it as Montrose. I had tears in my eyes in the scene when he told Tick, "The only thing I ever wanted to be was your father". I'm getting teary eyed now thinking about that scene. Omar and Chalky White are some of my favorite characters also.

[@njmspete5529]

This made me tear up. We definitely will have a void in our art of movies and the world. Michael K Williams will be FOREVER MISSED ans revered for what he has brought to our hearts, our culture, our black people, his community, Hip-Hop, dance, and just being a beautifully flawed human being. I am going to binge watch everything he did. Just like I did Chadwick Boseman. R.I.P. King MKW...

[@jaylene.turner6524]

R.I.P. Michael K.Williams. You will forever go down as one of the greatest actors of all time.

[@ckl5590]

Great actor. I will never forget Omar and Chalky White. RIP, dear man.

[@AA-qb7ni]

I love this tribute. Michael was one of the greatest actors of our time. His legacy will live on. RIP 🙏🏼

@@eternalyfeful it's a mini series on HBO, I believe it was produced by James gandolfini from The sopranos and was one of his last projects before he died. It's incredible definitely give it a shot!

[@travisbickle2004]

Gone too soon, such a loss and an incredibly talented actor. He was never less than compelling on screen and has played some of the best and most memorable characters on tv. He always made his characters feel real. He will be remembered and loved forever as new generations discover shows like The Wire, Boardwalk Empire and The Night Of. Rest in peace.

[@slayermate07]

" OMAR COMING YO!!! " - God rip legend, and just like the character himself after he met his end, the man will forever be immortalized on dis streets of not just baltimore but the entire world.

Didn't know him personally; but through his art I grew to love him. So rest easy friend.

[@catherinerodriguez4598]

I really liked this man. He was so special. I was so sad when he died. He left a space that has never been filled. In a way, that is a real accomplishment, but, I still wish he was here.

[@mrcurely]

It's rare you see an actor so successfully deliver the extraordinary facets of diverse characters. It was always a pleasure to have his presence on the screen.

[@courtnocase]

A king that will be so so missed. Never met him but so glad I’m reading his book.

[@TheSgtFarmer]

I must admit, I slept on this man until Lovecraft County, his performance was absolutely incredible. Rest in Power.

[@dillonbernard6814]

That code saved Omar later when Marlo tried to frame him.

[@aya9af]

Thank you Michael K Williams for all you gave and all you were. 🙏🏽🤎🕊

The world is a little less brilliant with his loss, but his legacy will live on in his work. He was truly one of the greats of his craft, taken much too soon. Rest well, Michael K. We won't ever forget you.

_Boardwalk Empire_ was my favorite performance of his, too... so multidimensional. Was always memorable, even in a small role like _Sopranos._

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Never let someone else hold the pen that writes your story. We all know our lives have a beginning, middle, and end. It's the destination to that end that makes you... you. God speed, Mr. Williams, for schooling us on life.

[@JamesWilliams-dz5tn]

[@TheChynadoll10]

This tribute is beautiful! R.I.P Michael K. Williams 🥺💔

[@vt-yp7yq]

I've watched him grow for many years through the camera lens, and I always thought that his choice in characters were those that you didn't always see in cinema. Upon learning of his struggle with addiction, I had hoped that he would not end up like some of the other actors, but he did. Phillip Seymore Hoffman's death hit me very hard, because he too chose character roles that left you speechless as well, and when he died I didn't want to accept it. When Michael died I found out while at work, and just began crying. I cried for days after, I just didn't want to accept another loss this way. I can accept what people do to cope with thier life struggles, and I always will; but it doesn't make the grief less. Michael, I will miss you.

[@scottsodyssey2485]

I didn't even know he passed until this video popped up in my feed. It struck me as odd. So I wiki'd him and found out he died. Dude was a brilliant actor, Iconic characters on iconic shows. Glad the world got to see his talent.

[@DuragChessYT]

Loved him when i watched LOVECRAFT COUNTRY ... RIP MIKE
