Michael K Williams RIP

[bmd]

So shocked to learn of his death. Such an amazing talent. Such a beautiful man.

RIP Mr Williams. Much love and respect.

I used to be a taxi controller and was once having him picked up from the Langham opposite the BBC on a Saturday morning. He was just down as Michael Williams which meant nothing to me without the K. There was a demo going down Portland Place (I think a blm one but could have been anything really) and we were parked a couple of streets away so I was calling to tell him how to find us. Anyway, when he heard this he went absolutely apeshit at me and I suddenly realised who it was and was sitting there chuckling thinking 'holy shit, I've got Omar mad at me, I'm going to die'.

Anyway, having customers go nuts at me was a standard part of the job but he was one of the very few to ever have the decency to phone me back to apologise, very calmly and eloquently. He'd had a look out the window, could see the problem and could I please tell him where his car was.

Made my day.

RIP

A beautiful man

Once a ballet dancer then an eloquent actor. I love his Omar character and am unusually really sad about this.

Just been sent this fab video - there is a 5-10 second longer version out there but of course HBO don't make it available on YouTube...

Omar was a fantastic character, this is sad news.

Such a shame

He was excellent in Lovecraft Country too.

Very sad news. I'm currently re-watching the wire and he's absolutely perfect in that. I've also been playing an NBA game and he is in the career mode of that

Great actor and by all accounts a great person too. RIP.

That's brilliant mate.

And fuck me, how scary was Omar.
