Michael Kenneth Williams will begin filming his signature role of "Omar" in the fifth season of HBO's Critically-acclaimed Series "The Wire" this spring.
"No one who saw Williams' performance on "The Wire" Could fail to appreciate it," wrote Robert Bianco in USA Today's cover story, "10 Reasons We Still Love TV," "In Omar, a gay drug dealer who turns government witness to avenge his Murdered boyfriend, Williams brought to life a character who is unlike any we've ever seen before."
