Wire Actors in other things

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.

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

outside of rap videos, where's snoop these days?

yeah, she's like a pro consultant that leo brings in to improve Bartlet's numbers post-Zoe's kidnapping.

Check out the first guy. ALSO total blast from the past if you watched PBS as a kid.

I thought Freefall was outstanding.

And in a little schedule serendipity, Lester Freamon was on Holby City earlier this evening..

Lester Freamon was on Holby City

That's a bit depressing.

Others: Burell is in "Cookout"
Domenic Lombardozzo/Herc is in SWAT

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

^^ I kinda want to see that show.

It's pretty empty and silly, but very engrossing and impressively plotted. Kind of feels like Law and Order: SVU with a season-long arc.

was trying unsuccessfully to find a Nick Sobotka pic from Criminal Intent (Wire folks on Law & Order could be a whole other thread), but this one, though from a Broadway show, was too good not to post.

Clay Davis as a cop for about 2 seconds in Everyone Says I Love You.

Tony Gray and the Greek in Michael Clayton.

just getting into damages and rawls in drag is LOL

lol just saw clay davis on Enchanted

Frank Sobotka turns up briefly in Broken Flowers as one of the trailer trash guys who beats up Bill Murray. And he's a cop in True Blood of course.

Oh, and Michael turns up briefly as one of the pupils in Half Nelson.

90210

queer as folk

okay, I've been watching oz - and so far: Boadie (doing lots of eye-rolling and getting forced to the ground by officers of the law), Burrell (as the gangsta turned muslim that's put to death's dad), and Avon (brief appearance as guard that smuggles a gun to the muslims)

tons of Oz people ended up being on The Wire.

Kenny
Herc
D'Angelo's mom
Carver
Daniels
Rawls
Freamon
Greek FBI guy
Brother Mouzone

I'm sure there are others too.

Snoop Pearson and Jay Landsman were on tonight's episode of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations".

the real Jay Landsman or the fake one?

The real one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j0jwcgxIYM

what the hell does she have to do with food lol

No Reservations is billed as a travel show with an emphasis on food, and often has little to do with food.

also, just saw a few seconds of that clip...we're 2/3rds done with season 5 of the Wire and have last night's No Reservations on the DVR. Can anybody tell me if there's any spoilers in the show last night? Like does Bourdain say "Snoop, it was awesome how that spaceship came in at the end of season 5!"
