Michael Kenneth Williams or Michael Williams was an American actor who was born on November 22, 1966. From 2002 to 2008, he played Omar Little in HBO’s drama The Wire, and from 2010 to 2014, he played Albert ‘Chalky’ White on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire.
David Simon, a novelist, and former police reporter developed and mostly wrote the American crime drama television series The Wire. In the United States, the series was broadcast on HBO, a cable network. The Wire ran for five seasons, from June 2, 2002, to March 9, 2008, and featured 60 episodes. The show began as a police drama partially based on his writing partner Ed Burns’ experiences as a former homicide investigator and public school teacher.
The Wire is set and filmed in Baltimore, Maryland, and each season introduces a new institution and its ties to law enforcement while keeping characters and storylines from prior seasons. The illegal drug trade, the port system, municipal government and bureaucracy, education and schools, and the print news medium are the five subjects, in chronological order. Simon chose Baltimore as the setting for the play since he is familiar with the city.
The Wire is praised for its literary themes, unusually accurate explorations of society and politics, and realistic depiction of urban life. The series garnered just mediocre ratings during its initial run and never won any major television awards, but it is now widely regarded as one of the best shows in television history.
