Default The Wire actor Michael K Williams has died at the age of 54
Spoiler:




[NYPD official said they couldn't confirm
the presence of drugs and that the
medical examiner would establish Williams' cause of death
in due course.


The multiple Emmy nominee earned nods
for his roles in Bessie, The Night Of,
When They See Us and, this year, HBO's Lovecraft Country.
The Brooklyn-born actor, who had a
distinctive facial scar from a bar fight
on his 25th birthday,
also won fans for his role as Chalky White
in the period gangster series Boardwalk Empire.]

Great Black Actor
He will be missed.
