    He was in it a few episodes ago as a guy who creates vortexs (vortices? :pac:)
    Claire had to track him down. In the end, he created a vortex thing and jumped into it himself so I'm pretty sure he's gone for good

    Don't think it has been mentioned yet but there's 2 actors in the first episode of Generation Kill (haven't seen any subsequent ones yet), James Ransone who played Ziggy and Benjamin Busch who played Colicchio I think it was, the guy with the hair all shaved on the side, he looks no different in this.

    Saw Dom West in the new punisher movie. Judging by his acting in that film you could never believe he could be a good actor. He just stinks.

    Now Lester has just popped up in Damages. Although they were playing completely different characters I couldn't get their Wire alter egos out of my head - quite a surreal scene with 'Rawls' in the jack dressed in a blue sequined dress and 'Lester' pops up behind him to discuss federal investigations into his business. My brain melted! :D

    Same here - I couldn't help thinking that the Damages writers were making a little 'in' joke by having Rawls dressed in drag for his first encounter with Lester.

    I was looking up imdb to find out track someone I saw in an ad for Brothers & Sisters.

    There I noticed that Sonja 'Kima' Sohn is now in Brothers & Sisters.

    Nil crossover appeal there ;) ?

    FWIW, the actor in question was also in Studio 60 ..

    It might be old news, but Dominic West mentioned this in an interview on Newstalk yesterday morning. He said it was even better than the wire!

    'Wire' Vets Join HBO's 'Treme'

    Wendell Pierce, Khandi Alexander set for David Simon's pilot



    34097155.jpg?title=Clarke+Peters+of+'The+Wire' Clarke Peters of 'The Wire'

    "The Wire" creator David Simon is turning to some familiar faces for his next HBO project.

    Two regulars from "The Wire" cast, Clarke Peters and Wendell Pierce, have signed on to Simon and Eric Overmyer's drama pilot "Treme." Former "CSI: Miami" star Khandi Alexander is in talks to join the show as well, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    Alexander has a connection with Simon as well, having starred in the Simon-penned miniseries "The Corner" in 2000.

    "Treme" will follow the lives of musicians and others who live in the titular New Orleans neighborhood as they try to rebuild their lives in the post-Katrina city. Pierce, a New Orleans native, will play a jazz musician who's fallen on tough times since the storm and who still has a soft spot for his ex-wife (Alexander), a bar owner.

    Peters is set to play the leader of a Mardi Gras Indian tribe who's trying to get members of his tribe back home.

    Alexander left the regular cast of "CSI: Miami" at the end of last season. She may still make a few guest appearances on the show.

    Idris Elba as Michael Scott's new boss in US Office.
    Probably a recurring role.

    Kind of weird watching him in a different role, thinking "he can't talk to HIM like that" !

    Not 100% sure on this, but i think Idris Elba (Stringer) is in the new Eminem video "We Made You". He plays one of the Star Trek captains at the end of the video.
