In reply to GravitySucks:
I never knew much about him; that was quite sad reading about his various struggles over the years. I was always surprised he didn’t go on to have a much higher profile career, but reading that article I wonder if that was partly down to his difficulties with substances.
As you say, Omar was an all time great role. The most fantastic bit of acting and a really beautifully developed character. Sounds like he was much loved off screen too.
