Agreed: The all-too-few dialogue scenes with Bunk and Omar are among the most memorable of this superb show.

“And I keeps one in the chamber in case you pondering.”

" come at the king you best not miss" that was my favorite quote from omar RIP michael k williams

Everybody started stealing that quote, so my favorite now is, "I don't know much about cards, but I'm think these four fives can beat a full house" as he busts into the underground card game featuring Marlo and brandishing two .45 caliber semi-automatic pistols.

Wear it in health

Michael Kenneth Williams as Omar was quite simply one of the best characters in one of the best TV shows of all time. A three dimensional actor playing a character so different but so familiar in a very authentic portrayal of the mean streets of B-More early 2000's. Mike will be sadly missed. A true artist.

Even if I miss I can't miss.

I literally couldn't stop crying listening to this one. Thanks for making this pod real HBO it means a lot.

“Wear it in health”

I've watched the wire in less than a month, just couldn't tear myself from the screen. omar is a really captivating character. his sensibility and vulnerability left some marks on me, "predatory motherf with a shotgun" , as bunk calls him, but with a code and big heart. legendary character brought to life by legendary actor

"how you supposed to run with the wolves when you sparring with puppies" favorite quote

Favorite character in the series. Omar had a code and only targeted those in the game. And I got the shotgun you got the briefcase is an iconic line. Man is a legend and was in so many great shows not just the wire. Man will be missed, a great actor taken way too soon.

I got to interact with him briefly at Afropunk in 2016. After the P-Funk performance, everyone was leaving. We saw Jeffrey Wright leave, and then I think someone in the crowd said "there's Omar!" My homegirl ran up on him to try and get a pic (she shined the phone flashlight in his face, lol). He quipped and said, "I thought you were the police." Lol. I told my homegirl to just ask him for a picture instead of being such a fangirl. He graciously took the pic with her and I shook his hand and thanked him and that I admired his work. He gave that trademark smile and then left with his homie. I'll never forget it. Still doesn't feel real that he's not here. May he continue to rest in peace.

"For Mike's first scene, in that little room with the shotgun, he came up to me and said, 'Hey, how do you open this?' So I showed him, and thought, well, this character isn't going to last long... But, as soon as the camera was rolling you would have thought he was born with that gun in his hand."

I am enjoying this behind the scenes look at a series that I finally got around to watching and finishing just last week. It is my absolute favorite series, ever. I'm so glad they did a separate, standalone episode of the brilliance that is Michael K Williams. The scene with Omar and Bunk is a highlight of a top notch series!

I think these two 45's beats a full house

Very well done!! I love this episode and of course, Michael K. Williams’s character Omar Little!

RIP miss fran, and peace and love to your extended family.

Just a few seconds of audio of an infamous scene.. and you are straight back in!

I’ve always known the song Omar whistled as “A Hunting we will go”. That seems to make far more sense, considering the character.

it's very nice to hear from Jermaine

What a great role he had and he played it fenominal

RIP MKW. You won't be forgotten ❤❤

This interview was so good. I’ve been a fan of the show and Michael forever! I’m going to rewatch the entire series all over again. ❤️

Rest in Peace Michael

Miss you man

Ay yo! Omar is coming!!! Rip Michael K. Williams

"Omar's listening....."

I love this podcast, as a big time fan of The Wire it's much appreciated.

Thank you SO much for mentioning his part in Bringing Out the Dead

I love these podcasts

RIP MKW, the man with a code

"The game is out there and it's either played or get played".

“You come at the king, you best not miss.”

The "Smiley's" referenced are probably referring to the "Glasgow (Chelsea) smile" which I won't describe here 😅
