Oh no!

His career was skyrocketing. For anyone who hasn’t seen The Wire, you should remedy that immediately. He played Omar, one of the best characters on a TV series ever.

RiP!

Man, what a tragic loss

Sad times indeed, he was incredible in The Wire and was a good time in ATC. That's no age either.

One of those actor deaths that really feels like a gut punch.

I haven’t seen the wire but I’m very surprised how little attention his performance in Boardwalk Empire is getting. He was so great and his character arc so tragic, easily one of my favorites from that show.
