Actor Michael K. Williams died in September of a drug overdose at age 54. He was in the process of writing his memoir Scenes from my Life, which is out later this month. Williams was born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and spent his childhood in the projects surrounded by drugs and violence. He reveals that his mother's abuse was one of the key reasons he turned to drugs. He writes that in 2008, he was invited to meet presidential candidate Barack Obama but had just come off a three day cocaine bender and his jaw locked up. He was so broke after his big break on The Wire he was kicked out of two homes because he couldn't pay the rent.
