Veteran actor Reg E. Cathey, known for his roles on 'House of Cards' and 'The Wire', has died at the age of 59. 'The Wire' creator David Simon confirmed the news on social media as he wrote, 'Reg Cathey, 1958-2018. Not only a fine, masterful actor -- but simply one of the most delightful human beings with whom I ever shared some long days on set. On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing.'
