Remember him very well from great roles in House of Cards and The Wire. Great supporting actor in a variety of roles. 59 is too young.

Very underrated actor. Loved him on House of Cards and Law & Order. RIP

Actor Reg E. Cathey, known for roles in 'House of Cards' and 'The Wire,' dead at 59
Didn't know who he was...until watching the current season of Luke Cage. Had to look him up when the season finished with an "in memoriam." RIP - would have thought he was 79 sooner than 59 though. Even played Cage's father, and seemed elderly...must have been pretty ill when he filmed it.

Yeah, at least he went out after a fine performance. I didn't like his character at first but when they opened him up and let him develop more (which that show is very good at), you ended up liking the character.

Forward, always.

Damn they must have made a change to the last episode of Netflix's Luke Cage. I watched the last episode Tuesday night and the was a dedication to him at the end of the episode.

RIP
