    “If you don’t know, you better ask somebody,” says actor Wendell Pierce, who also appeared on The Wire. “His name was Michael K. Williams. He shared with me his secret fears then stepped out into his acting with true courage, acting in the face of fear, not in the absence of it. It took me years to learn what Michael had in abundance.”

A beautiful spirit.”
