I’m grillin these chops and see this bullshit
man I had to give folks the tongs
Same here famo.
got the youngins up in here, News showing him like its a Wire marathon. Henny on the rocks will get me back right tho.
Man, just………F*CK!
Never watched The Wire but knew he was a show stopper on there.
Became a personal fan of his in the movie about Bessie Smith when he co-starred with Queen Latifah.
For me, that’s when I knew his range was limitless.
Man, how you privy to this info so soon?
I never did like "THE WIRE".
I just got tired of the Black = Ghetto = Drugs tropes.
And White Folks' (especially Liberals) endless fascination with US in that environment.
With that said,
Considering Williams' life story,
He being a BLACK Man,
And GAY on top of that,
I'm really not surprised.
I'm sure he never got over his molestation experience.
Even in his Adult life.
Great Actor.
Shit is So Sad.
I haven't watched the Wire yet but Mr. Chalky White was the reason I kept watching Boardwalk Empire
DAMN !!!!
RIP
White folks speak about Mash, Hill Street Blues, All in the Family, Good Times, The Sopranos and Breaking Bad but…
The Wire is EASILY the most profound, groundbreaking pieces of television produced in the last 50 years. Looking at it from a creative stand point - this kind of story has NEVER been told this way and it is objective, introspective and Shakespearean in its awareness of exactly what it is.
The point of this show has ZERO to do with drugs or race or the ghetto or even politics. It is an allegory about power and a tragedy of humanity - those that live, are lost and reborn within the perpetual cycle of life and all our faults and personal triumphs, no matter how trivial or grand they may be.
Williams was like an embodiment of that entire series.
