He was the actor who played Proposition Joe in The Wire. He was 52.

RIP Prop Joe. One of the best shows on TV when it aired. So underrated. I liked it better than "The Sopranos".

RIP indeed. Met the guy when he was doing a show at Theatre Project back when my wife was running the place. Nice man, but not so healthy - big as a house. My guess would be cardiovascular problems.

I figured it would get moved eventually. Thus, the "OT" in front of it.

Plus, lots of us are fans of The Wire.

One of the best shows ever made IMO.

I'm sure it hit home for a lot of us too. I mean, how many of us could pick out places in the shows that we know, have been to, and can identify with. Hell, a lot of the characters were based on folks from Baltimore.

Thee best, not even debatable (to me).
