“But to be honest, Michael and I didn’t keep In touch,” he continued. “So because of The trajectory of His career, it never occurred to me that it was still going on.”

Reddick said The “last time” he saw Williams was In February 2020 at The American Black Film Festival, where their HBO series from Baltimore – Which ran from 2002 to 2008 – won The award for Best Classic TV Show.

“Except for The gray and The gray on His beard, I mean, he still looked like he was 30,” The “John Wick” star told host Smith, adding that he remembered thinking, “What’s this guy eating? Because I want some of it.

“So The thought that he was battling drugs and that he died suddenly and that he died that way was just shocking to me.”
