RIP.  Starred in my favourite series of that type.  So many great scenes and what a character Omar was.  

He was very good in Boardwalk to.

Blimey, only 54.

Just watched all of the Wire this summer and he was great with that. And Boardwalk 

Had a bit of a past and was instrumental getting Snoop, a convicted murderer, her role.

A fine actor. Since The Wire I've kept a look out for anything he has been in. Also quality in Hap and Leonard.

So tragic. I wasn't particularly happy about his character Chalky's ending in Boardwalk Empire but he was really great throughout the series. Too young to die. R.I.P.

Edward Norton - who's one of my favourite actors - gives a touching tribute on Twitter:

Tragic - such a brilliantly talented actor.

The multi-faceted Scar in The Wire was one of my favourite characters ever, and the scene where he testifies in court is so good, it's sublime.

RIP

Was just re-watching The Wire the night before the announcement. Such a loss.
