Wire Actors in other things

And then he went to Trinity. Poor accent never had a chance.

i think that's part of why he was cast. pretty sure he's done the crucible before. he was the only one doing a non-RSC accent except peters, who was doing the same accent as morgan freeman in robin hood prince of thieves

saw bodie in a UPS commercial a week or two ago

Wendell Pierce: best known for his role in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II

omar was on law & order this week
This past week I watched like 8 various Law & Orders at various times and ALL of them had Wire actors in them somewhere. Nick Sobotka as a failed actor. Burrell as an upstate cop, sorta improbably letting Benson's brother off the hook for shooting a hostage. Carver as Goren's temporary replacement. Rawls as a convict/informant. Method Man terrorizing Nigerians. Judge Phelan as a New York judge. Omar as that hitman. It might have been more than 8, even.

both carver and bunk play nigerians in the same l & o episode

wendell pierce as… the announcer for the jazz at lincoln center radio show.

CREE LED lightbulb spokesman, Lance Reddick

^^^ I saw that and became sad.

nah you're alright

Is it just me or is Dominic West's English accent getting better?

ok, I've been obsessed with Graham Nash's Innocent Eyes music video from 1986 this week. This won't be the last time I bring it up on ilx either. And I might be wrong about this, but the actor playing the boy here - is that Carcetti? Especially look at his facial expression around 0:37.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KwQORT1T6k

The actor, Aidan Gillen, would have been 18 at the time. I can't find anything on his wikipedia page that would support him being in a (presumably) L.A.-based music video shoot.

also, he doesn't look anything like Aiden Gillen, and even looks more like the other main Queer As Folk dudes

Sonja Sohn is great in High Flying Bird, though

I dunno. Maybe it was just the beady eyes and cheekbones. But he displays a couple of Carcetti-like (and even Littlefinger-like) facial expressions. Especially in those first 40 seconds during the living room sequence. The hair's obviously different, but it was the 80s and people did all kinds of shit with hair. I've never seen Queer as Folk, but I don't think he looks remotely like either of those two other dudes.

And you're probably right that it's not him, but I'd watched the video a few dozen times and every time his face came up, I was like "who the fuck is that?" And suddenly something about the look he gives around 0:37 really said Carcetti to me.

I didn’t watch the whole thing, just skipped to 0:37 tbh
