Actor Robert F. Chew, most notable for his role as Proposition Joe on "The Wire," was found dead in his Baltimore apartment on Thursday. Chew was listed as "morbidly obese" and passed away from cardiovascular disease.
Despite not acting much before or after, Chew acted in "The Wire" for five seasons and was good in his role.
Jamie Hector, who played the character "Marlo" on The Wire, tweeted Friday afternoon, "I didn't want to believe this #RIP Robert F. Chew, Prop Joe will always be remembered Robert Chew will always be loved and missed!"

I cant front I look alot like this guys and for some reason its not easy to motivate yourself to workout or go on a diet. you arent suicidal but you also are not in a rush to get your body in shape and your health right. I think if he had more acting roles on the horizon it would have made him want to workout and get his health improved.
