My mom posted this on FB and I literally screamed when I read it.

RIP to a great actor. Although it's not his best role, I will always fondly remember him playing Desmond Mobay/Johnny Basil in Oz as it is the first time I saw him.

The guy was always in great shape. It's scary when people in good physical condition just drop dread out of nowhere.
Indeed, I remember being surprised by his physique when he hooked up with Pearlman on the Wire. He seemed to keep working out later in life too.

As iconic as Daniels was, I'll always see him as Basil/Mobay. Such a tragic example of just how dangerous heroin and drugs like it are. Took him a couple sniffs and he went from undercover narc to strung-out, murderous junkie for life.

I still remember watching that scene as it happened...when Adebisi and them told him to take the H to prove his loyalty, I was literally screaming at the TV "No! Don't do it man, don't do it!" The Ms. was looking at me like :unsure::huh:.

RIParadise to my Bmore brethren. Life well lived.
