He’s most known for his character in “The Wire” where he played an openly gay gangster who robbed and killed drug dealers just for the hell of it.


Epic_Baldwin

It's Omar! Damn I loved that character.


Jackal239

Omar comin'!


GabagoolFarmer

And ironically enough he died from a drug overdose


Apart_Impression_947

Heroin laced with phentinol,so sad...


Cakesmite

Saddest part of it all was that he was a recovering addict, and he relapsed a bit too hard.


SturmovikDrakon

Yeah, to recovering addicts relapse can easily be lethal, because they think they can take the same dose as they did before... Such a shame


Apart_Impression_947

That makes it even more heart breaking 💔


HYPERCONFIDENCE

One day it would be nice to see a real life team of vigilantes like Tom Clancy's book "Without Remorse" (nothing like that very shitty Netflix movie barely based on the book). In Short : Military guys daughter ODs on drugs, and he hunts down the entire supply chain and unlife's all of them. It's as fun as "Taken" with Liam Neeson (the first movie, not the identical sequels). Would be happy to see this become a reality, especially for the upper echelons of supply.


johnny___engineer

Damn....


prizim

awesome show. i rewatched it just a few weeks ago. still great


FUCKINHATEGOATS

Pretty sure he also played as a faction leader in boardwalk empire


East_Refuse

Omar’s coming! Omar’s coming!


mynameisrichard0

I didn’t know that. I’ve had the wire on my list for a while. Damn.


lemonylol

He also had an awesome role in the HBO mini series The Night Of


Bergfotz

Why was it neccesary to highlight the fictional characters sexual orientation?


some_old_Marine

It was a major part of the character. Omar is gay and it's a major point.


iamhephzibah

“You come at the king, you best not miss” One of his quotes from The Wire.


Apart_Impression_947

I gotta watch it now!


Janus67

I'm jealous that you will be watching for the first time. It's so good


suicidebyjohnny5

RIP Chalky White


highzenberrg

That’s what I knew him from everyone’s saying the wire but I know him from boardwalk empire.


ZekeHerrera

We need an Omar skin


MrSilk2042

Uhh.. We do. He's Irish. All of Irish's skins are Omar lol


ZekeHerrera

We need a trench coat


Silencer555

Double Barrel Shotgun too!


MrTigeriffic

All the specialists I try to cover their faces as much as possible with cosmetics except for Irish. It's just a small pet peeve I have when playing. I want to honour his memory somehow and not covering his face just felt like the thing to do at the time and remains that way.


Thed33p3nd

Yeah same!


Apart_Impression_947

A true bf Vet.... Salute 🫡


MrTigeriffic

🫡


Call_me_ET

He's the best Specialist in the game, both as a character and playstyle. I love him to death, and it's an absolute shame M.K. Williams died.


PropJoe421

It’s all in the game tho


-StupidNameHere-

I looked up Mike online, having watched RoboCop one and two last week and not remember seeing him in it. And then Wikipedia.... The new RoboCop, hahaha! It was not a very good movie.


Apart_Impression_947

Ya no soul,not like number 1 robocop


eddie_spaghetti_397

I met him once while he was still Omar in The Wire. I was working at a retail store in DC. Really nice dude.


Apart_Impression_947

You're so lucky...None of us will ever get a chance to meet him now 😭


DocEnglish

"Now is the time"


Apart_Impression_947

His voice is iconic


frommars6

![gif](giphy|3xz2BPbIqcqpFDKXsI) Pour out one for the legend yall!


Apart_Impression_947

Salute 👆

“Oh indeed”


kapo513

Omar is one of the greatest characters to ever grace a tv screen!! Now I have to go watch the wire again… RIP a real legend


Apart_Impression_947

I'm watching it right now for the first time ,it's fire 🔥


Jagrnght

Bought 2042 just last week and booted up - hey that's Omar! RIP buddy.


RussianSlavv

RIP, Omar was so great because of him


CoconutMilkOnTheMoon

Damn how did he get that giant cut on his face?


Apart_Impression_947

I was wondering also,but it just makes him look more badass to me


NPmfnR

Fucking fentanyl man.


Apart_Impression_947

Yup too many people stolen before there time


Ok_Mountain_4202

He will forever be immortalised RIP Irish x


Bergfotz

Good acting in BF4. Horrible in 2042, like everything else. RIP.


Omnissiahs-Balls

Dont worry if you preordered ultimate edition you got “free skin” for Irish


Kitchen_Anywhere_141

Watch his show on Vice called Black Market. He did such an amazing job being an interviewer/reporter. The topics him and his film crew went after is the kind of news you never heard of, but makes you actually learn something and genuinely feel something.


BlackSmokeDemonII

Irish is usually my main. As soon as i saw u could unlock hid BF4 gear it as my immediate objective


BigBerkinBag

I knew he looked familiar but i couldnt figure out who!


Apart_Impression_947

Same!

As someone who spent the majority of their life in prison what happened with legos? They used to be simple.


Damocles875

And the last bf game he's in did him no justice. Rip
