Actor from The Wire season 2 dies at 46

[Problematic Pat]

Damn suicide.Wonder if it was job related. Haven't seen him since that season.

Side note I had no idea Master Chief was the dude who played his cousin. I forget how long ago that season was.

Side trivia Liev Schriber is his brother

Spooky times , wish all the Brothas & sistas all the best

R.I.P. Ziggy. He’s reunited with his duck.

Seriously, that is sad. He was a great character actor. Generation Kill as well

 

[ThirdAct]

Besides The Wire, he was really good in the HBO miniseries Generation Kill. Reading up on him, seems he had a troubled life - problems with heroin and was also molested by a teacher when he was a kid. RIP.

Never know a lot of people situations they in

That streaming life ain't no joke. Once you got an audience you gotta have ideas for videos which you will be dropping heavily. A lot of influencers get mentally fukked up doing that shyt. Most ppl don't realize the amount of work involved.

And with acting streaming fukked up the money. Major Streaming platforms are less reluctant to license out their original series or movies. So actors aren't getting paid like they use to. Even the hit series unless you are a big name you getting peanuts. That's why you see real popular actors in all those movies shot in a week that go straight to Blu-ray and rarely ever in big studio productions

Hollywood doesn’t seem like it’s good for your mental health. You have the world wrapped around your fingertips…or so it seems but you still choose to get dressed in a Columbian neck tie or the Smith and Wesson retirement plan.

He was raped by his maths tutor over the course of 6 months when he was 12 years old. That's what lead him to alcoholism and heroin, and ultimately suicide.

I know that. It's in the video and rest of post. Hence why he's pictured twice back to back. Only threw in Master Chief because time had him physically looking different and voice kind of deepend so I didn't recognize it was Ziggy's cousin from The Wire
