RIP Michael K. Williams  

The 5-time Emmy nominated star of The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, 12 Years A Slave and most recently Lovecraft Country, has died at age 54.

Willliams’ death has been confirmed for Deadline by a representative of his family. Here is the statement:

“It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Emmy nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams. They ask for your privacy while grieving this insurmountable loss.”  

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know.
