Incredible actor in everything I saw him in. I also channel his performance of daniels in the wire when I say “this is buuuullshit!” In my everyday life
RIP and sad to read of his passing. I liked a lot of the stuff he was in, but I’m surprised lots of people are saying he was a great actor. To me he seemed very much like a one trick pony - Only ever seemed to play tough, no-nonsense, serious, cool under pressure, team leaders. His delivery always seemed so stilted to me too. In a lot of films and programs, I found him a bit unconvincing and annoying.
I first saw him in LOST. It was a small role but he made it memorable. I caught up with The Wire soon after and he was a major factor in it being so good. Same with Fringe. My friend interviewed him on set and told me he was a top bloke. Genuinely shocked to see he’d passed away. Really saddened.
Brilliant actor. Great in Bosch but I loved him in The Wire. Yes played certain roles but did them so well. One of my favourite scenes in The Wire is Daniels tearing up the photo of Bird before they lay into him.

Still, apologies if this seems disrespectful.
Lets not forget his legendary eric andre show appearance. Probably the only person to have ever got a genuinely shocked response from eric andre
RIP
