Excellent actor, created one of the all-time great characters, now gone way too soon.

 

I loved The Wire so damn much... that was some peak story telling and he was an integral part of it.

 

Yeah, very sad indeed. Sounds like it was likely a Cocaine laced with Fentanyl overdose. Really enjoyed his work on Boardwalk Empire, as well. Super talented actor. His characterizations were always very entrancing. Don't know much about his personal life, but my condolences go out to his loved ones.
