Michael K. Williams can lay claim to two historical roles: Chalky White on “Boardwalk Empire” and Omar Little on “The Wire.”
“Those are two characters that will go down not just in our community, in the Black community, but in overall, the television community and the Hollywood community as iconic characters that will live on 20, 30, 40 years from now,” said BNC “Start Your Day” host Mike Hill.
Williams, 54, was found dead in his Brooklyn penthouse apartment on Monday, Sept. 6.
“[He was] absolutely extraordinary in those roles, said BNC host Najahe Sherman. “Really at the top of his game.”
Hill and Sherman share more about the life and career of Williams on “Start Your Day.”
