Wire Actors in other things

this movie sounds really awful ... I kinda want to see it though

unfortunately, it is not nearly awful enough to actually be entertaining. avoid.

Bubbles' white druggie friend was Telly in KIDS

^^yeh I recognized him right off the bat

must say I am finding it difficult to resist urge to make "Sopranos actors in other things" thread (except it would mostly just be Woody Allen and Scorsese movies, probably)

Actually Shakey I think there'd be a decent Hal Hartley contingent for Sopranos!

keep your Sopranos talk off my Wire thread!

i almost forgot, i did a blog post once compiling all the rap videos featuring actors from The Wire: http://narrowcast.blogspot.com/2006/08/hip-hoprb-videos-featuring-cast.html

of course, it's almost 3 years old, and the list would be twice as long if i updated it now

fuck it I'm doin it

xp some dude - that's awesome!

for awhile, snoop was like in EVERY GODDAMN VIDEO and almost always next to Rick Ross.
Off topic, but does rick ross just show up in videos unless you dust the stage with salt beforehand? Dude is like the BET Candyman.

xpost: totally floored by the fact that McNulty = Cromwell. At the time of broadcast, I thought the latter performance was just phenomenal, totally believable both in terms of physicality and character, with a figure -arguably, the English Stalin - who could so easily have been played as a pantomime villain.

I've watched the whole of The Wire on DVD over the last three months, and never once twigged that McNulty was the same guy.

saw Barksdale play a SWAT cop on an episode of House not so long ago.

how 'bout http://www.impawards.com/2007/posters/daddys_little_girls_ver3.jpg

Seriously no mention of Lance Reddick in Fringe?

hey, I don't have permission to access daddys little girls jpg!

I'm tempted to see the remake of Pelham 123 because Chris Partlow is in it. Is he one of the hijackers?

i know! i rewatched 25th hour recently and was weirded out by that.

do we have one of these threads for lost?

then reddick would be super meta because he's on wire/lost/fringe

don't forget oz

I'm cracking up at every one of these McNulty pics

Sonja Sohn sounds like an 80s MC name

I swear I saw Clay Davis do his Sheeeeeit thing in something ELSE (besides 25th hour) but I can't remember wtf it was. Think he was playing a cop or detective again.

me too! bc i haven't seen the 25th hour

I think one of the DVd commentary tracks mentions this ...25th hour and something else.

Some good ones I've seen myself

Isiah Whitlock is in Gremlins 2 as a firefighter for about half a second.

Wendel Pierce is in Hackers

Dominic West is Sandra Bullock's alcoholic boyfriend Jasper in the very shit 28 Days. Bullock goes into rehab, West is cynical.

Parentheticals are Generation Kill d00ders.
Partlow, Frank Sobotka in Fringe. (Capt. Patterson, too.)
Rhonda Pearlman in Bones. (Captain America in Bones, too.)
Bubs, Cutty in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (Sgt. Espera, too.)
Bunny in Prison Break. ;_;

i watched an episode of the west wing last night in which ronnie perlman appeared and was a REPUBLICAN and i felt betrayed.

I tend to willfully blame the general paucity of quality roles for black actors in Hollywood anytime someone from The Wire ends up in a Tyler Perry project.

even if it were dominic west?

lt daniels is in the west wing as a dc cop in one ep.

union leader dude who cops it in series 2 is the shifty poss-pa3d0 teacher that keanu is defending at the start (and end LOL) of Devil's Advocate
