‘The Wire’ Star Andre Royo Wants to Keep Michael K. Williams’ Light Shining

Andre Royo — one of Michael K. Williams‘ co-stars on “The Wire” — says the entire ‘Wire’ family is feeling the loss … but he’s encouraging people to keep spreading the late actor’s positivity.

Andre — who played the drug addict and informant “Bubbles” on the popular HBO series — was out in NYC Friday when he reflected on Michael’s life … saying he was someone who cared about everybody.

Royo tells us Williams’ death was a stunner, but he hopes people will rally together to keep his name alive, remember his work, and shine his light … because his former co-star was a great person, and clearly left a major impact.

As we reported … Williams — who played the beloved character Omar on “The Wire” before going on to star on several other hit shows — was found dead Monday of an apparent overdose in his Brooklyn apartment.
