Michael K. Williams was one of the very best to ever do it, in 'The Wire' and everywhere else.

It is hard to fully comprehend that he has gone, but it has been almost a year since the legendary actor Michael K. Williams passed. A shining light that was taken far too soon from this world, there was just so much he brought to life. As put best by his fellow The Wire actor and close friend Wendell Pierce, he was an “immensely talented man with the ability to give voice to the human condition portraying the lives of those whose humanity is seldom elevated until he sings their truth.

When he would walk down the street with his duster flowing behind him like a low-key superhero cape, you believed it when everyone would scatter and try to warn others of his arrival. Yet he would walk with calm ease as if he was just going for a stroll without a care in the world about what people thought. Of course, everyone else cared every moment he came on screen.

One scene, in particular, brings this into clarity and that is when Little took the stand. Even as his character is being grilled and under scrutiny, Williams played him as being so unbothered and with a convincing edge that gets you chuckling just as you can’t look away. That he is able to win over a jury with his wit and charm, despite an attorney attempting to reduce him to being an untrustworthy criminal, is believable because of just how good Williams is.
