I did not immediately know his name, but I knew his face and his work. A great actor! So young and so talented:

Life is unfair. He played so many unnamed background thug roles and only started getting good parts in the past decade. He was an excellent actor who broke his stereotype and was finally getting recognized. I didn't know he won an Emmy for House of Cards until I read his obit, but I'm not surprised. Truly sad news. RIP.

I don't watch TV so I never saw him in House Of Cards but I was so looking forward to seeing him in bigger film roles. He brought a unique presence to the screen in his work.
A terrible loss indeed. RIP...

I remember him best from his role in "The Wire" more than "House of Cards"
