His innocence made the role of Wallace real.

[@sabrinapitt1466]

I was thinking the same thing. He was perfect in the role

[@commaJim]

Man, Wallace's murder in The Wire is one of the most emotional moments in tv/film for me. That scene was incredible. I'm so glad Michael is having a successful career. Dude deserves it.

The Wire is a gift that keeps on giving.

[@nathanielknight1838]

damn, learning from Andre Royo at that age. That'll get you far. He was fantastic on the Wire.

[@MuricaTurkey]

Such a natural, at such a young age. He was one of the best, on a show where everyone was the best. This man has almost supernatural level talent. Really amazing 💜

[@Angels-3xist]

The interviews conducted here and the openness of the people in conversation really is like nothing else. it’s great how they really dig into every nuance of the craft and person but also keep things very free and fun. The sections they highlight for this channel couldn’t be better chosen or reach out on a more identifiable level to the humanity and creativity of the audience while remaining entertaining.

I can just feel years, and years, and years of frustration, and anger, and patience and humility in the furrow of those eyebrows.

He was great on the Wire. A true natural

[@menikmati789]

His performance in the wire / begging for his life is the first time I can remember crying at a TV show
“We supposed to be brothas!”

That’s it... I’m re-watching The Wire ... for the +10th time :)

He was amazing in The Wire.

[@Babyteemss]

He’s such a great actor

[@karmonbetts8848]

Great Actor MBJ!❤️❤️

[@bentley230]

WHERE U AT, WALLACE?

[@milasophiamelody]

Jordan's performance as Killmonger received critical acclaim, and the character was widely hailed as one of the best villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.💯🦹

[@fr0stb1ght34]

You know the reason the movie didn't win the oscar/academy award in its category was because MBJ's performance was so strong it kinda overshadowed the story. Or at least that was the reason giving, that the antagonist in the film had an over powering performance that eclipsed the movie

[@keishie23]

Very interesting to know

[@albodingus2239]

String, where’s Wallace At? Where’s Wallace!!

Iconic line that never gets old !

I’ve never watched ‘The Wire’, but thought he was by far the best thing in the overhyped snorefest ‘Black Panther’.

[@Sosroseno]

I've never watched Black Panther myself, but you should really watch The Wire.

Do yourself a favor and watch The Wire
