RIP Michael K Williams. You will never be forgotten.

The fact that the wire doesn't have a single Emmy win is an absolute artistic tragedy. This show is a masterpiece.

Fun fact: Michael K. Williams (Omar) met Felicia Pearson (Snoop) in a Baltimore club and later, took her to the set of the Wire to meet the writers and the producers. This is how she got an audition, and subsequently the part of Snoop. I think that's a pretty cool story.

Them streets clear cause they saw Omar comin 😂😂😂

[muhammadlee]

Omar aged about 20 years and snoop aged about 3 weeks

so weird seeing omar and snoop together without them trying to kill eachother

[Shabec]

She wasn’t acting when she played the character snoop, she was being herself.

[adamjohnson]

I always assumed she wasn’t really acting during her time on The Wire. Her performance felt more real than almost everyone on the show.

This show was so ahead of its time. I just finished the series and its the first crime media that made me think of every aspect of a city, the corrupted politics, school systems, the challenges police face to do what seems so simple.

"Why care, if your mother and father don't care about you?", MAN, that's heart breaking. 💔 I hope and pray that Felicia experiences nothing but peace, good health and joy, for the rest of her life. RIP Michael K Williams.

R.I.P. to those that aren’t here with us who we grew up watching shows like the wire with, Micheal K. Williams, and others that had a role in the good memories that we share. God bless them and their families.

Damn a real gangster. That is what makes the Wire so great, the authenticity

[andyham]

She is bmore through and through. The way she talk walk act dress everything.

[JediBunny]

Michael seems such a good guy. He listened so intently to her stories and seemed like he felt everything she was sharing at his core. I would’ve watched a full feature documentary with these two.

"how my hair look?"
"you look good girl"
💥

[xxivghostxxiv]

I dont belive this dude has ever made a bad film. Everything hes in is solid respect

[barrymaher]

I finally watched The wire after many years of saying I would. Excellant show and really made a lasting impression. Omar, snoop and Bubbles were my favourite characters.

[gerryfegan]

You gotta love Michael K . William's. Such an underrated actor. Hes deephearted and when he does these documentaries he shows how understanding he can be. I'd love to meet the man

[VVIIFINEST]

You come at the king. You best not miss!
