“The Wire” creator David Simon, who is known for always having something to say, was rendered speechless by the enormity of Williams’ loss. “Too gutted right now to say all that ought to be said,” he tweeted. “Michael was a fine man and a rare talent and on our journey together he always deserved the best words. And today those words won’t come.”
Some of Williams’ “The Wire” co-stars shared moving tributes. Wendell Pierce, who played Det. Bunk Moreland, posted a long thread about how special Williams was. Pierce called Williams 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.”
Lance Reddick, who played Lt. Cedric Daniels, posted a video tribute and called Williams “One of the kindest, gentlest, most genuine, giving and courageous souls I’ve ever met.”
“Shocked and saddened by the death of Michael K Williams,” wrote Isiah Whitlock Jr., who played state senator Clay Davis. “One of the nicest brothers on the planet with the biggest heart. An amazing actor and soul.”
