"The Wire" creator David Simon reported Cathey's death on Friday.
"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," Simon tweeted. "On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing."
