Wire Actors in other things

Senator Clay Davis on an old episode of L.O last week...no 'sheeeeeit' though. Didn't seem right.

Saw Hackers for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had to LOL every time Bunk was on screen.

Idris Elba (Stringer Bell) played a gigolo in Absolutely Fabulous.

Just saw this. Was so happy to see him!

Clay Davis in Rubicon!

Rawls as Michelle Williams's dad in Blue Valentine.

Idris Elba was in Takers, using his natural accent. which was kind of stupid because he was the one barking the orders during a bank robbery, and the fact that he had an accent made him easy to identify. one of many bad plot points.

a few wire actors have been on 'the good wife' -

chris partlow (gbenga akinnagbe) and burrell (frankie faison) in recurring son-and-father preacher roles

kima (sonja sohn) guest starred in an episode

kima is also in the main cast of this upcoming abc show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_Proof

Rawls as Michelle Williams's dad in Blue Valentine.

Rawls was sorely underused in Blue Valentine. I was hoping for a scene that featured him predominantly, knowing how good he can be.

herc in a new a&e show called "breakout kings" (or some shit)

frankie Faison is on that mediocre Blue Bloods show right now

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.

Rolling R&B Thread 2011

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

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

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

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
