Very sad news. He was a fantastic actor, especially in The Wire. It's tragic how someone who brought so much to the screen was suffering inside. My condolences to his wife and children. The industry has lost a genuine talent.

His wife's words are haunting. "I actually love everyone." It shows the deep contradiction of depression. We need to talk about this more openly in India too, without the stigma. Strength to the family.

Respectfully, while the tributes are touching, I wish there was more focus on the resources available for suicide prevention in these articles. A helpline number at the end could actually save a life.

Saw him in The Black Phone recently. He had such a unique presence. It's a loss. Channing Tatum calling him "one of the realest" says a lot about the man behind the roles. Om Shanti.

So young. Leaves behind two small children. This is the real tragedy. Fame and success don't guarantee peace of mind. We must prioritize mental well-being as much as physical health.
