Williams died on 6 September 2021, he left behind a career as one of the most electrifying actors of his generation. From his star turn as Omar Little in \u003cem\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/em\u003e to Chalky White in \u003cem\u003eBoardwalk Empire\u003c\/em\u003e to Emmy-nominated roles in HBOs \u003cem\u003eThe Night Of\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLovecraft Country\u003c\/em\u003e, Williams inhabited a slew of indelible roles that he portrayed with a rawness and vulnerability that leapt off the screen.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Beyond the nominations and acclaim, Williams played characters who connected, whose humanity couldnt be denied, whose stories were too often left out of the main narrative.\u003cbr\u003eAt the time of his death, Williams had nearly finished a memoir that tells the story of his past while looking to the future, a book that merges his life and his lifes work. Mike, as his friends knew him, was so much more than an actor. In \u003cem\u003eScenes from My Life\u003c\/em\u003e, he traces his life in whole, from his childhood in East Flatbush and his early years as a dancer to his battles with addiction and the bar fight that left his face with his distinguishing scar.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e He was a committed Brooklyn resident and activist who dedicated his life to working with social justice organisations and his community, especially in helping at-risk youth find their voice and carve out their future. Williams worked to keep the spotlight on those he fought for and with, whom he believed in with his whole heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImbued with poignance and raw honesty, \u003cem\u003eScenes from My Life\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a performer who gave his all to everything he didin his own voice, in his own words, as only he could.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: Oversized Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Pan Macmillan\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages: 251\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9781035009534\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 1035009536\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael K.
