The star of The Wire, Fringe, John Wick and many other films and TV shows has died at the age of 60.

Enjoyed many things he was involved in over the years. RIP.

Yes, sad indeed. One of those actors that seems to have been in loads of stuff, that has mainly passed me by other than as Bosch's boss.

I hadn't made the Wire connection before because I've never watched The Wire, and didn't realise the John Wick connection probably because of his accent! smile

Either ways, a charismatic screen presence.

RIP

Bit of a shocker. He's been in loads of wildly different stuff in recent years.

He was very good in Oz and has done well since, along with several other actors from it. I think there was going to be a John Wick spin off about his character, TV series I think.

There's been talk of a spin off about "The Continental" which I imagine he would have played a big part in.

A shame his last big TV role was in the awful Netflix Resident Evil show. A real waste of his talent.

He was fantastic in Destiny. I don't know how they'll replace him. He's been with us for ten years in the Light and Dark saga of Destiny 1 and 2, it's such a shame the arc will wrap up next year without him.

Easily one of my favourite actors. He was only posting on his Facebook this week

Oz, Wire, Cmdr Zavaler in Destiny2, Fringe, John Wick... The man is so watchable!

Too damn young

Sad to hear of this. He was great on the Wire. Also pretty funny in a short-lived sitcom called Corporate.

Didn't look anywhere remotely near 60 either.
