OT: RIP James Ransone, Ziggy Sobotka on The Wire.

One of the best/most annoying characters of Season 2 of The Wire. The best show of all time IMO.

He also played in Generation Kill on HBO and other shows/movies.

Very sad story. Loved him in both The Wire and Generation Kill. Just realized he was in Black Phone which I just watched too.

There’s a Ziggy fan account on Twitter that posts great facts from The Wire. I learned this week that the whole diamond studded collar/drinking duck story was based on a real person.

Ouch. He's the same age I am.

Liked him a lot in "How to Make it in America".
