Actor James Ransone, best known for his unforgettable role as Ziggy Sobotka on The Wire, has died at the age of 46.
Authorities in Los Angeles confirmed that Ransone was found unresponsive at a property in the Fairfax area on Friday afternoon, December 19.
Police were called to the scene shortly after 2 p.m. Officers reported no signs of foul play, and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office is handling the case. His death was later ruled a suicide.
Born in Maryland, Ransone discovered acting at a young age after struggling to fit in at traditional public schools. Ransone was the son of Joyce and James Finley Ransone II, who served as a Vietnam War veteran.
”My dad was a Green Beret and he got shot in Vietnam. He had to come home. It really affected him and it still affects him to this day. I only saw the bad parts because that’s my dad,” Ransone once told Interview Magazine.
