This nigga a straight up HBO Legend ! Mans been in The wire, The Boardwalk, The Sopranos all the heavyweight series this nigga been a part of hats off g
you forgot "night of" 2016 series
What episode of the Sopranos was he on? I don't remember.
+Rob Johnson they needed somebody dead
he's only in one episode. When Jackie Jr goes into hiding, Michael K Williams and his son set him up at their house.
facts
this man should have won at least 4 Emmys for playing Omar, I'm STILL mad.
💯
TRU werdz
goldmineken absolutely fucked over this dude smh....mainstream America
The Wire NO Emmy's Sex & the City MANY That is proof how wack society is and commercialism...hard NOT to look at race and color here...and I never go there, but content and cast was 80% black...and as usual, negative black, bad black, poor black...black is always cast as negative...this is truth!
If yall havent seen the Gambler...he's GREAT in that movie
"Money ain't got no owners, only spenders"- Omar
There is something so gentle and sweet about this man. You can tell he is a gentle soul.
Like making love to him would be a spiritual experience. (Forgive me for expunging my fantasies...LOL)
@@UnopinionatedBystander2393 You have a thing for Mr. Chocolate. You must be Phedra from Atlanta house wives!. There is something about him, he appears to be down to earth and intelligent and seems like he is lots and lots of fun!! He is indeed sexy. Forget John legend, he is the sexiest man alive or Morris chestnut !!.
@@debrajames6316 Off topic: WTF??? John Legend sexiest man??? they need to gtfoh with that shit. LOL! He a'ight.
YES! He has the same gentle essence as my soulmate. They have a similar story line as well. Their transparency is humbling and refreshing. ✨
Giiiiiiirrrrrl that’s exactly how I feel about my soulmate and he has a very similar essence to him. It’s so alluring❣️
I respect this man so much. His honesty is humbling.
RIGHT !!!
I agree..he's definitely a secure man.
Respect me too
Facts
Great interview... seems to be quite humble. I remember him in 'I think I love my wife'; classic 😚😚
Watched this then, came back after his passing. 5 years & 5 days to the day. Rest easy, King. Truly inspirational.
"I have reservations about not eating." That's why he's the realest!!!💯
Tru hood to the roots.🤜🤛😎🚬
Xvideo black long stroking
Facts!!!!
Rip heard he just passed
Rip my brother
Trying to hold on to every piece of this amazing human being as he heads to the afterlife. Rest in Power MKW
Michael K. Williams is one of the most talented, UNDERRATED actors of our generation!
SEFYH yup!
Yes!
Yes 🙌🏿
It STILL breaks my heart that MKW is no longer with us. WAY too talented and gone WAY too soon.
I put Michael in the same category as Deniro, Pacino, Denzel etc. Massively underrated. Legendary actor for sure.
I do to. The top 10, if not 5.
Wood Harris On That List Too
Such an incredible actor, what a loss. Rip.
Not Denzel. Denzel is a coward. He said hed never play gay
@@xidiamond6851 SOOOOOOO that's unnecessary energy you have to be in that mind space. MICHAEL'S exposure growing up in NY hearing house music all clubs mixed with all walks of life. To play gay roles your energy in some way has to be open to that ENERGY is everything and powerful not to be played with.. Let DENZEL BE GREAT that's not everybody's path his contributions is unmatched.
Someone in Heaven is yelling “Omar is comin’!”
Respectfully ❤️
Luved This!!!😆❤
He went to heaven because he was a great actor??? 🙄🤦🏾
@@sharonharper6255 tf are you talking about lol
Whiistlin
RIP! Still tears down my cheek. My Lord! RESPECT AND HONOR FOR THIS MAN ALWAYS. Sweet and peaceful, you shall be, from today on! You've deserved the best!
So you saying you literally cried?
@@tythebelieveguy4228 yeH? Why? This WAS literal but I couldve meant it figuratively. People can touch you without knowing them personally.
Wow I love how honest and transparent he was about very aspect of his life.He don't owe it to any of us and he shared. I think it will help someone for real. Honestly and vulnerability is strength and in a world where everyone is fake living on social media this is so commendable.
word. the rest is discussing if he's gay or not. glad to find your comment..
i clicked on this only because he was being interviewed..breakfastclub is actually very low level entertainment , thats why its audience is mostly ignorant folk.
Very true indeed.
well said.
True
love it
His Skin is beautiful. he was so honest.
isnt it? 😩
He also looks incredible for his age.
Inside(lol)
wilfrid fred you are wrong for that
+Panini Chowder
I agree💟
WOW. He has a beautiful smooth chocolate complexion. Well spoken. Grounded. Good interview.
Summer Jackson Right!! I kept staring at the side of his face. It's so smooth and beautiful!! And his energy is so calm.
He is definitely one of the best interviews there is, everyone should also check out his archived interview with Wendy Williams when she was on the radio. Rest in peace to Michael K Williams
Ok in in
Mmmmmkkkk
"A man's got to have a code"
do tell...
omar listening
money ain't got owners, only spenders
i robs drug dealers...
We're defiantly dissecting pine cones next year!
Dope interview. Mr. Williams had a beautiful personality and he handled this interview so well. Rest in Power and Love.
Yess 👍
@@shaka7068 Yes!
same. say less. :(
Agree. One of the real good, real interviews. Excellent.
I love how real his answers are. He's so underrated.
Rewatching this because he was such a beautiful black man. He killed me in When They See Us. My husband and I have always felt like he was so underrated considering his talent and wisdom. Beautiful soul. ❤️
He was such a beautiful man.
@@jblank1862 Right!!! These people. Smh
this man had a whole interview speakin real shit and y'all worried about if he's gay..why tho??
Exactly.. smh
he made his money and made us believe. job well done
+Brilliant Ward wow he was malaseded so oo
throwback 70's style.
???
Omar coming yall Omar coming
✊🏽
Lol
facts!
lol was thinking the same thing! I NEVER knew his real name. His name is Omar lol
Same here hahaha
Clearly this man is a natural born actor, his personal life is his business period !!! He is so brave and well spoken. He reminds me of Father Mc.
Nasty
yes Libra,he's an excellent actor! idk why it's so important to people if he's gay or straight
yes Libra,he's an excellent actor! idk why it's so important to people if he's gay or straight
Well spoken is a white people term. Its degrading
Your showing your age with that Father MC reference loool
Can't fuckin believe it. I am honestly shocked. I last saw him performing at DMX's funeral. R.I.P. dear brother.
"I have reservation of not eating." I got exactly what I needed.
I respect the hell out of this dude. His honesty is something that should admire. I was shocked that he said that he was molested as a child, and that it confused him later on in his life. Glad he's trying to get that situated even if that's through therapy, meditation, etc.
I think he was being honest because Angela said he’s wasn’t gay it was just a character. He didn’t want to straight up lie, knowing fully well he’s dibbled and dabbled in the past.
Why were you surprised by his story there’s so many males like him we probably won’t know about others we will
Everyone has a story! 😌
I knew in his mind he was saying damn they on this gay thing really hard! It probably was very bothersome to him but I’m very proud of how he contained himself and still gave heartfelt truthful responses in ways to still earn some respect! He was so bluntly honest that my jaw hit the floor many times i had to pick it up! lol…This dude helped a lot of people in this interview believe it or not!
I applaud his courage! I really do!
I'm watching all of his interviews after hearing about the news of his death. He was such a good man and a phenomenal actor. RIP to one of the greats 🙏🏼
Yes he was but it sad we hear about after his death this is always the case so sad
i feel u man, we lost a very talented soul and now when we can't see him anymore, its makes us wanna know everything to know about him
RIP to an absolute legend...... seeing all the love this man had from the world is inspiring
The Wire
Boardwalk Empire
The Night Of
3 great characters under his belt. The man deserves some kind of award.
Love craft Country HBO
@@rosestone5091 yup, you can add that as well. Comment was made 5 years ago.
Yo, so nobody gonna talk about this man turning 50 next year? Dude been lookin 35 for 10 years or some shit lool.
most definitely
my mouth dropped open when he said his age.
look at that beard. you tripping
you fooled by that stupid young hat
good black there!!!
he really does look like a 35 y/o. when he said 50, I had to go back because I thought I heard wrong.
these people think that a grey beard tells your age, which is ridiculous. I have 20 y/o friends with more grey than my dad.
This reminds me of the passing of another talented actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman , Michael was just as talented . The best compliment you can give an artist is saying how memorable they were and OMG did Mr. Williams do that. His honesty during this interview lets you know how fake others are . God bless this man , one of those guys you wish you met and oh yes HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG !
Well said Sir. Very much like Phillip
Well said my friend...
Yes PSH was a shocker for sure 💯
A humble, transparent, amazing actor and activist... Much love, enjoy the next life Soldier 👑👑
Wow.. You listen to this brother and you see how genuine and real he is! God rest his humbled soul! 🙏🏾🕊💙🌹
RIP to Michael K Williams!! Gone too soon! You can tell through his craft and interviews he was such a solid, wise soul.
He is so damn handsome!!! And the brains to match the looks. I love him and his whole career
I've watched this so many times, only right to watch again now that your gone! We miss you already Mike
He played the hell out of Chalky White on Boardwark Empire. Much respect!
Kenneth Williams damn Skippy, I loved that character and that man, that voice, he is so damn sexy!
Lolita Davidovich Yes he is😍😍👄
Absolutely
My favorite show and yes he did!
Thank you! He was incredible in that
I've always like Michael K. Williams, but this interview of his makes me love and respect him so much. I will be checking our Black Market for sure.
His energy touches everyone. And his motivation is contagious.
He is so very underappreciated...but, God! He is gifted, and he's grateful!
"You come at the king, you best not miss”.
"I got the shotgun...you got the briefcase. It's all in the game though right?"
The Cheese stands alone
Man....Life gone to soon. Everyone has a story. Michael rest in peace. Let's stop judging people with addiction..Rich or poor it's an illness. God bless🙏🏽
💯
Facts
It definitely is...#thestruggleisreal
Federal facts
Did he Ovd …?
I met him at one of my old jobs at a hotel last summer. he was so nice and humble, he also bought 5 of these expensive ass candles, which got me great commission. Thanks Michael K!
Charlamagne was so annoying in this interview. The guy explained three times in the interview about his sexuality and he keeps fishing and fishing. We all understood him and got the point.
That’s Charlamagne🙄
we understood him? no WE dont. He never flat out answered.
@@xidiamond6851 yea we actually did.. he experienced sexual abuse that contributed to him questioning his own sexuality.. then he figured it out.. what other info would you like to have?
@@xidiamond6851 Why does his sexuality matter to YOU. This is the problem with people.
Charlemagne is silly and childish when interviewing
Rest in peace and power Mr. Williams. Prayers for his family and friends 💙🙏🏾👑🕊️
he plays another gay role on hap and leonard so can we move on from the gay questions. he's a really good actor and I love that he's breaking barriers. very underrated
you can tell hes really doing it out of passion and doing it for the art
he's gay
He also played a drag queen in triple 9
sidenote I hope you an Asian MC. chin chillen a classic name for hip hop
+Maliik Baraka awe. I'm sorry. I'm a black girl with no rap abilities. chin is short for my full name and chillen is self explanatory. sorry to bust your bubble.
I love his kindness and event the way he clapped when he felt joy.
Man I enjoyed him! 😞😞😞 So excited this year when he was scheduled to come on. This interview was so surprisingly different and gratifying. He answered those questions without hesitation and so much conviction. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
His skin, energy, and smile is so beautiful.. RIP
CTG: So you can see yourself with a man, but you can’t see yourself killing somebody?
pause
MKW: I can see myself in love, bro.
Dopest way to handle that question.
Omar was the most gangster most fearless character on the wire!
EDIT: Also most feared!
Mike Williams is. Awesome. Actor
That cop chic was OG
I thinks chris was more feared.
@@emmanuelfletcher3386 Who was chris now? Is he the one that ended up copping for loads of murders in exchange for more fast food?
No that’s weebay...Chris is Marlo’s right hand shooter
Omar was the best character in The Wire
His acting on Boardwalk was amazing, he's on don Cheadle level
The best BFast club interview so far. Need more legends like mike...
This guy needs to write a book. His life is amazing.
His show on Vice, Black Market, is absolutely excellent.
What channel
I love how Pac is a part of damn near every story
Pac was way ahead of his time yoh
Me2!!!🙏🏾💞
i love that fact that he's being honest because im pretty sure alot of other guess that comes on the breakfast club dont keep it all the way g, so salute to him for that
man this dude is such a humble and real ass dude man it would be an honor to meet him man
This is a great interview he was so transparent. I commend him, makes me love him more 😊
if there was a biopic done on this man, it would be epic!
dundermifflin1888 i agree
There needs to be
I appreciate his candor. The brotha may have helped someone struggling within their own selves.
This was a great interview. M. William's complexity and honest answers were inspiring. Michael you now have a new fan. Thanks for your motivating words
This was a great interview, he gave so much between his craft and social justice issues, Michael K was amazing! Rest easy 💔
Rest in Power Sept. 2021 Although I appreciate his acting in the wire. His best role to me was Chalky in Boardwalk.
I totally agree. I loved Boardwalk Empire!!!!
just dont make no sense...
i dont believe the official...
DOPE INTERVIEW!!!! His honesty and candor, is SO refreshing. I actually learned something. Much RESPECT!!
Love Michael K. Williams and The Night Of. One of the best series on TV right now. Hope they do a season 2 cause the ending left a lot of questions that need answers
I agree. I hadn't heard of it and watched the entire series over the previous wknd.
What questions? If you don't mind me asking. Cause I thought they answered everything.
Don't think there will be a season 2, HBO described it as a Limited series
+adegucci2k11 You don't really know if Nas did or did not kill that girl. You don't really know if the financial advisor or the step father or Duane Reede was involved. In the end yes Nas is free but the rest is left for the viewers to make their own conclusion.
It's called "Night of one"? Never heard of this. Is it like a dram show.? Is it like the wire?
Excellent powerful interview by a strong man. Youngens can learn a lot from this true grown ass man
❤️ rip king you did this world a service by being you!
"Man, listen, I have a reservation about not eating!" WORD
Doesn't matter what his sexual preference is. The man is talented and he's not out here snatching purses or robbing folks. You guys need to GROW UP and stop always finding negative things to say about people. Lear from his story what NOT to do! Gesh!
People were making accusations. My point is it DOESN'T MATTER PERIOD!!! Next time, try reading comprehension before responding to someone's comment. Smh....
If he is gay, (as you say) how does that matter to you or effect your life?! .
+bibleverse1 bible verse????
tarjay35 your statement makes no sense. Gay people are gay already. And who cares if this man is gay and loves men. But if this man is straight and is preforming homosexuals act for a pay check. That's the ultimate sin
Any and everything goes in the black community...
“I have reservations about not eating” 😂👌
Here goes CHarlamagne....this man just gave a deep look into his roles and passion for the arts...he still harping on the gay thing. Lord have mercy!
Charlamagne dont understand himself he afraid of his thoughts
Deadass!!! Like he’s an actor bro they acting like “damn you played a gay guy, how’d you not turn gay” Smfh
Cuz he's shallow, and kinda dumb.
Charlamayne can ask some dumb ass questions and at the same time show his gay vibes
I was thinking the same thing. Cleanse yourself of that energy??? Wth
Just a beautiful man. His energy is everything! May you Rest In Peace King 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I never comment on these interviews but that was simply amazing.
Much respect for this King. Love the way he represents himself. Handled himself very well in this interview!! Rest in Heaven
Excellent actor I just love him !!! Blessings to you ! Your doing it well keep going.......❤👏👏👏
He said I see myself in love! That was real!
The wire is one of the best t.v serious EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Breaking bad is up there
My all time favorite show
Forever the best
No, it's THE best!
Damn straight, i also think that Breaking Bad and The Sopranos should be up there too...
He was one of the greatest actors I think I've ever watched. Every time I saw him, he commanded my attention. Brilliant talent. Gone way too soon. Rest in power King ✊
Such a great interview. Michael's been through a lot but stays grounded. Got to respect it.
Such a prolific actor / artist / thinker. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I am praying he is resting in peace. ❤️🙏🏾
R.I.P. Mr. Michael K. Williams. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself in this interview. Your beautiful and creative spirit shined through with every story.
Peaceful journey, beautiful soul!! You left an indelible mark.
This is a very raw interview! This guy appears to be 50 years old and doesn't care what anybody has to say but wants his privacy because he deserves it like anybody else
realest dude alive i swear great interview so honest and humble seems like a great guy who changed his life around and is using his platform for good
Still good talk even today...5yrs. later!!! A rare gem of talent....rest in peace ....my urban brother & may God bless!!!!
Rest in Love Peace and Power King Michael K. Williams. THANK YOU for your Artistic and Activism contributions. You were truly loved and you will be missed. You will forever be 1 of my favorite Actors. I hope you sleep well in eternal peace. You are a LEGEND!!! ❤️🙏🏽💔👑
He was amazing on the wire. The night is ill too just finished the 8 episodes. Michael K. Williams is a beast. My man lord jamar too did his thang. Nasir too amazing i suggest you to watch it.
So that WAS Lord Jamar!!!
Joetta Johnson Lol yes.. he is the crooked guard
John tuturro did a great job too. With his gross skin lol
J2theB Word.. He was funny too
He had a beautiful soul , beautiful person , Gone too soon, had so much more to give. RIP brother Great actor so versatile 🙏 💙
This was an awesome interview. Rappers, singers, actors, dancers, activists are all special. But, when you see all those talents poured into one soul it is truly a blessing.
I love how transparent and wise he is with his outlook and words. RIP
Loved this interview! Great questions, engaged&honest&energetic guest. This guy is super talented!
To be honest, I thought he was going to front like 90% of the other interviews. Like someone else said this has to be the most open minded, vulnerable, unapologetic interviews on this damn show. Enjoy his work and stop getting in his personal life it does not include anyone but him, his family and close friends.
He is an impeccable actor and person !
And then he just bodies his role in "When They See Us." Legend.
Phenomenal actor. Strong man. Father. Survivor. Give props when props are due, vultures.
Why Charlamagne so hung up on the gay thing, though? Really gets in the way of making the interview even greater.
Right?! CTG gets preoccupied with superficial things. This guy's a phenomenal actor, and an incredibly conscious and grounded individual. They need more interviews like this!!!
It really does. But then I think they like to get the ignorant questions out of the way to get to the real questions. Because the rest of the interview is really good
+Atoc shotta edgy
Because if it has anything to do with sex, (or killing,) that's all Charlamange cares about. Where have you been?
If you listen to Charlamagnes podcast, he acts gay all the time. He probably has a crush on Michael and wants to come out to him. "Dick talk!!!"
I am so humbled to be a part of this conversation, whoever wants to cut me a check will always be in my heart.
A phenomenal actor, you will be missed King!
No matter his sexuality the guy is a legend.
Legend is a stretch B
+NotLaw Boy best character in the best show so
Lol ☝️
+NotLaw Boy people need to stop saying legend so loosely👍
legend like Denzel, come g, YOU bugging.
