Wire Actors in other things

Both Lester and Rawls have pretty major roles in s.2 of Damages.

weirded me out that in the Rawls drag scene, Lester makes his first appearance AND another character uses a Judge Phelan-esque turn of phrase about "throwing a hump into her"

I just saw that episode last week, and had forgotten about it being mentioned here

Cutty's one of the bad guys in that terrible Green Hornet movie.

Cutty was also on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

clay davis talking about being like omar from the wire in that 'cedar rapids' trailer is a bit much for me

Cedar Rapids straight to teal & orange.xls thread

the greek is in the crow, lordz.

clay davis talking about being like omar from the wire in that 'cedar rapids' trailer is a bit much for me

it was a running joke in the movie. the character is a straight laced insurance salesman who mentions loving "hbo's television program the wire" and then there is some funny payoff. haven't seen the trailer, but it works in the movie, even if it is a little weird and he never says "sheeeeeeeit"

also dont think ive mentioned this yet but bubbles' wife owns a restaurant under my apt. i met her the other day and she is a very pleasant lady. the end.

Odell Watkins in my local bar last night; he's apparently also a regular?! Favorite dumb celebrity sighting in a while.

for some reason I keep seeing Walon at Steve Earle concerts....

I watched Nick and Norah last night (shut up!); Burrell is in it.

McNulty as Fred West

Yes! I am looking forward to that a lot. :-)

there's a csi miami episode on right now where lt daniels committed some sort of crime (by removing a surveillance wire!) and bubbles shows up as a sleazy drug dealer

Bodie!

my friend sorta knows bodie, friend of the family kinda thing... says he's exactly like u imagine him to be, intense slightly fucked up quiet guy... i think he had a drug problem too, but how much is that is ~hood talk~

home town theatre and i happen to be visiting around then

watched the first season of Treme - got misty-eyed when one of the characters told Clarke Peters that there were probably a bunch of dead bodies in the vacant project houses

Rhonda Pearlman as a "concerned parent" in Bad Teacher

Did anyone notice Bunk in "Horrible Bosses", basically just playing Bunk? I swear he even had the same suit.

And Cutty was in there too as a barman.

Bunk was funny tho

Nice guy IMO.

mcnutty

McNutty did the VO for a nice glossy documentary on street sports shown on Channel 4 on Monday ("Concrete Circus"). Was wracking my brains for the whole programme trying to work out where I knew the voice from!

What's the tally on The Good Wife appearances? Off the top of my head:
Kima
Burrell
Partlow
Boadie
Cutty

West End McNulty:

got tickets for that mcnulty/freamon othello at the crucible

wow just saw the trailer for the fred west thing

Watching series three of Oz at the moment. Lance Reddick's fake Jamaican accent is ridiculous. I'm amazed he wasn't shanked for being an undercover narc within twenty minutes.

Just saw Nicky Sobotka on The Good Wife.

xp - there's a scene in the Wire where Omar and his bf are watching Oz; forget the season/episode, pretty sure it was a Beecher/Keller scene.

nicky sobotka was on weeds too just recently

Bubs as Rainn Wilson's pal and fellow short order cook in Super.

... and now Carver in the season finale of The Good Wife. You'd think that show would be set in Baltimore instead of Chicago.

Anyone watch the Dominic/Fred West thing then? Not sure what i though of it tbh

It made me laugh.

yeah, that's what was weird about it

I thought it was v good. Woman playing Rose was awesome.

McNutty was fun in the very gory yet entertaining "Centurion"

Probably already mentioned, but I noticed in the four minutes of that awful Jonah Hex movie that I could tolerate, that Lance Reddick is in it and appears to play some sort of Q-type character.

McNulty as Fred West

He was good, the programme started off OK and got gradually more terrible

My wife bought me the Blu-Ray Star Wars set and so I got to see the deleted scene where McNulty gets a line of dialog!

dominic west was _really_ good as iago! he does a credible sheffield accent (lol eton) and when he is lying (which happens a lot in othello) he breaks out his weird lying face (perfected in season 5)
