Beloved actor Isiah Whitlock Jr. — maybe greatest recognized for his catchphrase “Sheeeeeit…” from “The Wire” — has died.
The Hollywood veteran handed away peacefully Tuesday in New York following a brief sickness, Deadline experiences.
Whitlock starred as corrupt Senator R. Clayton Davis on “The Wire” and had recurring roles on “Veep,” “Your Honor,” and “Atlanta.”
Whitlock collaborated with Spike Lee on a number of movie initiatives, together with “twenty fifth Hour” — the place he originated his signature phrase — “BlacKkKlansman,” “Da 5 Bloods,” and “Chi-Raq.”
Most not too long ago, he lent his voice to the upcoming Pixar/Disney animated function “Hoppers,” due out in March.
Whitlock’s supervisor Brian Liebman advised Deadline, “Isiah was an excellent actor and even higher particular person. He was cherished by all who had the pleasure to work with or know him. He will likely be vastly missed.”
He was 71.
RIP
