TMZ says suspected drug overdose.

The NY Post is saying he died of a possible drug overdose. Damn man.

I followed a lot of his work over the years. Solid actor. Hap and Leonard on Sundance was fun even though no one watched it.

Tomorrow I'll eat a bowl of that Honey Nut in tribute.

I'm rewatching The Wire right now with a friend (her first time). Omar is one of the all-time great TV characters, and he continued putting in great performances. Shocking and incredibly depressing news. I'll miss seeing him in stuff.

Oh man. Such a talented guy too. Loved him in The Wire and saw him recently in something else and he was great... this sucks.

That’s terrible news.

He’ll be best known for The Wire but he was awesome in everything I saw him in.

Fucking drugs man…

I finished Lovecraft Country last week. He was such an intense actor. I loved him in The Wire, Boardwalk Empire and Hap & Leonard.

Awful news. What a loss.

Terrible news. Omar is just about the best tv character ever. He was really good in a lot of movies but I feel like he never quite got the signature film role he deserved like he did in television. He was such an amazing actor. Sad stuff.

Such a fantastic actor, making each role his own. One not mentioned yet was his recurring character on Community playing the Biology teacher.

Noooo! :( RIP My Man...

RIP

Sucks since was just in the prime of his career with probably more exciting quality stuff waiting and maybe a Oscar nom or win,

Body Brokers was the last thing I saw him in,

He was in a lot of the shows and movies I watched and he did a podcast with Maron I think earlier in the year.

A huge loss.

Hap & Leonard is on Netflix. Everyone should check that out.

Yeah, as a long time reader of Joe R. Lansdale's Hap and Leonard books, his Leonard Pine was so spot-on it's like he walked right out of the pages into the world.

Huge loss. He was an incredible actor.

He was good on The Wire, great on Hap and Leonard and amazing on Boardwalk Empire.

Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead of an OD in his apartment and now Michael K. Williams. It's the PTA curse!

And yet Adam Sandler keep chugging along, making movies.

Fucking drugs, man. This is the kind of shit that makes you re-access your life. Not the drug part - I've never done drugs, but to lose your life so young...
