I think it's kind of funny that The Wire can't resist the Hollywood touch of making Nerese Campbell 25 years younger and way hotter than Sheila Dixon.

I don't think IMDB is conclusive either way, as the role was so small in the original Season 1 episode it doesn't look like it is credited at all on the IMDB cast list to Denise Hart or otherwise http://www.imdb.com/title/tt074943/fullcredits#cast (unless I've misread it, which is likely :-))
Oh well...

Michael Scott: Shh, just stop. Here's what you do. You tell him that you're his friend and that you're gonna help him and that everyone's gonna be all right. And then you put a wire on him and you find out who's selling him drugs and then you get that guy and you flip up, turn him into a snitch. You follow that guy to the people who's really really bad. Been watching The Wire recently. I don't understand a word of it.

P.S. Why do I get the feeling Elba will be playing an equivalent of the other-branch manager on the UK version, cool-guy Neil?
― nabisco, Thursday, 15 January 2009 22:39 (fifteen years ago) link
It's been a long time since I saw the UK version, so I don't remember Neil, but wasn't the manager of the Stamford Branch supposed to be kind of a cool guy?

The Office getting all the good Wire cast-offs. Eventually they will take over the entire Dunder Mifflin staff. but clearly starting with the hot ones.

Are they called "The Wire Chronicles?" They should these really short, almost-amusing vignettes about, like, Omar and Prop Joe as kids, or when Bunk and McNulty met -- not much to them except mild chuckles about them being very "in character," but they're like a couple minutes each, so it's not a big investment.

Actually to be honest the only worthwhile thing in them is a kid doing a decent impression of Prop Joe's looking-over-one-shoulder mannerism
