He was my favorite character on “The Wire” and I loved that show. I know they hired actors/characters that didn’t just play the part... they had some rough times in their lives (urban upbringing, gang affiliation etc). RIP....

I just can’t work up any feelings for someone who does drugs for recreation and od’s. It’s so stupid.

"Hunter Thompson said that the only people who actually know where ‘the edge’ is, are those who have gone over, guess this is just another one."

That might be one of his lesser gems, considering he blew his brains out.

Honestly, never heard of the guy. I guess it’s the result that is don’t pay any attention to what (and who) comes out of Hollywood.

I'd guess that MOST families do NOT have a similar story..Might depend on where you live...

None in my close family died of drugs.......

And John Doman, the voice of the Biden ads, is still alive.

Death isn't fair.
