Tragic, terrible news. I loved him as Omar on The Wire, and more recently Lovecraft Country. What a massive massive loss! RIP!

Horrific news, and this one hits like a Mack truck. An iconic actor with a truly incredible legacy. Go easy, sir.

http://instagram.com/p/CTNtwqXLaiL One of his last IG posts. He was clearly on a roll. He still had such much to give. A fantastic talent gone way too soon. Life can be so unfair.

This is devastating. Not only did he masterfully play one of the most iconic TV characters of the last twenty years, but dude was one of the most reliable character actors in movies and TV of our time. Always brought a smile to my face whenever he popped-up in anything. What a fucking loss. RIP.

Awful news. I haven't even seen The Wire... but he was one of the MVPs of Boardwalk Empire, excellent in The Night Of, and great in pretty much everything else I've seen him in. Rest easy.

Brilliant actor and Omar on The Wire is a legendary performance in the annals of TV.

In less than 20 years he went from being nobody to one of the more instantly recognizable, beloved and fucking iconic actors around. Legend.

No, No, No, NOOOOO!! 💔😭💔
Anyone who saw THE WIRE knew he could very easily have had an Oscar-winning role in his future (ala J.K. Simmons or Mahershala Ali). Was happy seeing him shine in stuff like BOARDWALK and THE NIGHT OF (and even his small role in GONE BABY GONE was a 🔥 scene-stealer), but kept waiting for him to get "that big movie role."
Omar Little was one of the Top 5 greatest & most unforgettable characters in television history...period!! I'm in complete & utter shock. 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Terrible news. He was a wonderful actor. A scene stealer among the best of them, but one that wouldn't take away from his fellow actors. He just had that eye grabbing presence.
R.I.P. to a wonderful actor.

This is so upsetting. Not only a great actor, but also showed some great taste in the first ever Criterion closet video. Love how excited he is about Steve McQueen a couple of years prior to being in 12 Years a Slave.
