But at least he died in a penthouse. It probably has a nice view.

Omar was a great character.

 

[Mr Deeds]

Funny how we publicize and make a big deal out of actors, athletes, celebrities dying of an overdose yet there are literally hundreds of people every day dying of the same thing and there's not even a footnote anywhere

he was in several things I enjoyed watching

 

[Insidious Von]

Amazing character actor shhhheeeeiiiitt...Omar no longer comin.

Greatest cold opening ever!

 

[The Oracle]

Man this is really depressing. Chaulky White and Omar are two of my favourite characters on the small screen of all time.

Heroin is a hard one to kick.....

Pretty much because we feel we know them through their roles.

Sad part is we don't.

Phillip Seymour Hoffmann was also a heroin addict, he directed this play for the Chicago Theater scene - it was a huge hit.

Phillip S and Michael K, what a waste of great talent. An addict that survived is in the clip...unknown at the time.

He was amazing in The Wire, and Hap and Leonard. Sad news! Talent doesn't stop the demons though, does it?

Amazing character actor shhhheeeeiiiitt...Omar no longer comin.

Greatest cold opening ever!

His portrayal of Omar Devon Little on The Wire was Iconic and that happens to be my favorite character on TV.

It's not that one is more tragic than the other. It's that one is known to millions more people than the other.

More reason to legalize all recreational drugs.

When Anthony Bourdain did a tour of Brooklyn he had a Jamaican food lunch with Michael K, the surprised was that Jamie Hector (Marlo Stanfield) joined them.

It's not that one is more tragic than the other. It's that one is known to millions more people than the other.

I don't know, maybe something good will come out of this by serving as an example to others. To me one of the biggest sins in life is wasted talent.

More reason to legalize all recreational drugs.

Legalizing drugs is not going to solve the problem of people overdosing it may even cause a bigger problem. Jails may be emptier start rehab centres will be jam-packed and by the way they're for the most part for profit organizations
