He's an amazing actor, but I don't know about carrying HBO on his back. HBO has a lot of great shows he has nothing to do with, and while he was phenomenal in the Wire, he wasn't exactly the only one, same goes for Love Craft Country, everyone is awesome in that show.

Michael k William's is such an amazing actor but an even better person. I met him when me and my family went out to eat BBQ in memphis on my birthday, I was about 14-15 yrs old and i was starting at him HARD in the restaurant he walked over and said hey little man, want an autograph, and I almost died I said yea! But can I talk to you and ask you some questions about your shows and he said you know? Nobody ever wants to sit amd talk anymore people always wanna autograph, sure kid. Ask away, and we sat and talked for about 45 mins. I asked him questions about his shows and even told him that I wanna be an actor and tell stories about what it's like being handicap, and before he had to leave he found out it was my bday and as he was leaving he bought me a piece of cake and sent it to my table with a note saying happy birthday, I hope I see you on the tv one day kiddo, its important to tell your unique experiences. Still my fav actor ever.

@@hugh_jasso he was such an awesome person, so kind and speaking with him you can very easily tell hes not only a master at his craft but hes also a very very intelligent man and puts alot more thought into roles than just acting and that alone. He rlly thinks about how his art will affect people and the message he wants to portray. Hes an actor but the way he thinks about his art is also like a director or producer as well.

Many people who have been abused as children have addiction problems to numb the pain. We must protect and help our children .

I've watched, pretty much every 'gritty' TV show made. Thought a lot about my top 10, my top 5 list etc. The Wire is number 1, without a doubt. When a show feels more like a documentary, not only is it unbelievably rare, but you cant help feeling the world isn't ready for something that real to be on TV yet. Even now. It also got me reading David Simon's books too.

Did a 3 day rewatch marathon of The Wire. I finished about an hour ago and while I’m sad Michael K. Williams is gone, I’m so happy he’s immortalized for his portrayal of Omar. Obviously it’s subjective, like anything, but I’d say Michael is forever immortalized for his role as Omar, the Best Character in the Best Television Program that has ever existed, on The Wire.
