The Wire (2002-2008)
Probably his most notable role, Williams starred as Omar Little on the Baltimore-based HBO drama series The Wire. On the surface, Little was “a notorious Baltimore stick-up man, who frequently robbed street-level drug dealers.” Still, Williams helped bring the complex character to life for viewers, depicting Little’s intelligence, cunning, homosexuality as a Black man in an inner-city environment. Throughout his time on the show, he received two Image Award nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series in 2007 and 2009.
