One of the most talented actors that I really liked!! He was fantastic in Boardwalk Empire and The Wire.
ReplyDeleteTime to watch those 2 again.

Nooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteI had seen MKW in Emilio Estevez's The Public--I'd been disappointed that he was cast in a stereotypical Black man role--a homeless man with native smarts... Hoped he'd have been cast as the main character, the mild librarian who gets gumption!
But of course he stood out, brilliantly, and I was hoping to see him in more things...
P.S. I didn't mean just to complain (in my above comment).
ReplyDeleteI'm personally sad that MKW had died; I feel a loss, like when Philip Seymour Hoffman died. Gone too young--they had good work to do that I wanted to see.
