    He is a really great actor , if they ever make a MOVIE ABOUT DMX LIFE and FAME as they should... Michael K. Williams , 100% should play da Role of one of THE GOATS and would kill it.

    The wire is still a landmark series and he played one of the most memorable characters in Omar.

    This man is so talented. I love people that could be arrogant, but they choose humility. He is a gem in Hollywood....a necessity in black film history, today, and the future.

    This was a great interview I like Michael k Williams from the wire Brooklyn finest I think I love my wife his new show Hap and lendor just wish this interview was longer it caught my interest because I am aspiring to become an actor. Personally I enjoyed Sway interviews more than the breakfast club and hot and 97.

      Can't see him becoming physically imposing, but as a calculating, menacing or even a benevolent yet short tempered dictator would be a great look...he will add to anything his is given.

    And by the way, James Purefoy and MKW- what a team. Who played Florida? OMG! all of em, everyone just brilliant. And the director...Abe Sylvia! NEEDS TO KEEP GOING WITH THIS SERIES.. We need to ;bug him about this. Nothing I''ve seen hits home like this...from all angles. Very healing actually.

    Denzel doesn't compare to MKW, IMHO. What a versatile artist he is. Michael be one of the best, but he doesn't seem to play the Rock Star, which I think is pretty cool. Call me a fanboy if you will.

    @LoseMyFocus 6 років тому +22

    Always thought it was ironic that a black man can play a gay character and his own community will down him and he may even get blacklisted but a white man does a gay role and gets academy award nominations and all kinds of praise

    • @ClaxtonBay123
      @ClaxtonBay123 6 років тому +14

      LoseMyFocus What are you even talking about? The community definitely doesn't down Michael K. Stop reaching for negativity.

    • @puritanave313

      You the reason people think we cry racism for no reason.
      What "community" you from? Cos he's loved in mine.

    • @kharyrobertson3579
      @kharyrobertson3579 6 років тому +3

      First of all, Michael gets love in the community. Second of all, Moonlight was a great movie, and got awards, and is loved by the people of all colors. WTF are you talking about?

    • @StayAlert_StayAlive
      @StayAlert_StayAlive 6 років тому +1

      LoseMyFocus Maybe a few people talk shit like in anything. But he gets hella love look at all the movies and shows he's been in. Where is he blacklisted at? And EVERYONE fucked with Omar. After a while I forgot the nigga was gay until I seen him with his boyfriend.
