He was fantastic in his non wire roles. Like boardwalk empire and he did a buddy comedy show too that was pretty good.

I think he also might have won an Emmy for Lovecraft Country, though I’ve never seen it.

Boardwalk Empire is probably my all time favorite series and the intensity that he brought to Chalky White really helped to make the show what it was.

Gone far too soon.

believed to be a Heroin overdose.

Guy was outstanding in all of his roles that I saw him in.

Gone way too soon.
