FAREWELL, JAMES RANSONE

Most know you as Ziggy Sobolka from The Wire, but you also engaged in other edgy, pulpy and intense fare, all of which helped to fortify your fanbase. 

You starred in Sinister, Sinister 2, It Chapter Two, The Black Phone, The Black Phone II, Prom Night 2008, V/H/S/85, In a Valley of Violence, Generation Kill, Inside ManKen ParkLow Winter Sun, Treme, How to Make It in America, The American Astronaut, Bosch, Puccini for Beginners, The Perfect Age of Rock 'n' Roll, The Lie, Mr. Right, The Son of No One, Broken City, Empire State, Captive State, Oldboy, Starlet, Red Hook Summer, Electric Slide, Cymbeline, Kristy, Tangerine, The Timber, Bloomin Mud Shuffle, Year of the Rat, It Happened in L.A., Write When You Get Work, What We Found, Small Engine Repair ... and Family Blood

Because of your prevalent depth and versatility, your passing surprised many, Mr. Ransone, and the lament and confusion stirred from such cannot be understated. For whatever anguish you endured, we can only trust that it has been eased, and for those of us who carry on, know full well that your work will never cease to resonate.
