Loved his acting but he also seemed like a really nice guy. Remember an Anthony Bourdain with him and everyone he walked past talked to him like a best friend. Seemed so humble. Fecking hell.

Ah no feck. He's one of my favorite actor's. Loved him more in Boardwalk Empire as Chalky White. Incredible in every role he plays. Rip.

Ahh sheeeeeeet. That's horrible news. Loved watching him on shows and seemed like a nice guy behind the cameras also. Such a shame :(

He was also great in Boardwalk Empire and The Night Of. Talented actor and seemed like a good guy. He will be missed. :(

The Emmy's are in 2 weeks and he's nominated, I saw him at an award show just the other day too.

Just a really sad day, beyond being a great actor he came across like a really genuine guy too.

Fentanyl needs to be off the streets (if reports are to be believed)

Damn it. He was a fantastic actor, and seemed like a genuine guy. Goes without saying he played one of the best TV characters of all time in my eyes. Rest in peace Omar.

Awful news. I'm on my first watch of The Wire and he's my favourite character. A very talented actor. Such a shame. :(

Couldn't have put it better, he brought a lot of depth and relatability to each character he portrayed.

So sad. Omar was up there with Tony Soprano for iconic TV characters, and Williams was also great as Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire.
