“The Wire,” which starred Williams as the openly gay stickup man Omar Little, explored the narcotics scene in Baltimore through a variety of perspectives.

Simon describes “The Wire,” in which Williams starred as the openly gay stickup man Omar Little, as “a careful critique of our drug prohibition and the human cost underlying those policies.”

Portraying a murderous stickup man wasn’t necessarily the most natural fit for Williams.
