Omar was also in a great movie called 'Gone Baby Gone'. Small role in it where he plays a cop, but good film nonetheless. Also stars Amy Ryan (Beadie) in a bigger part and she is brilliant in it. Won awards and stuff I think

Omar features in Todd Solondz's pseudo-sequel to "Happiness" called "Life During Wartime"

both movies are worth watching and are harder hitting ( they are challenging to watch ) than the wire.

Put it this way I wouldn't be recommending them on the Glee board..

Seth (Carver) Gilliam in Nurse Jackie [US] season 2.

Only a couple of lines - probably killed an afternoon for him

Jimmy Jazz · 13-04-2010 9:47pm

Michael K. Williams (Omar) has a bizarre cameo in the Road where he robs and is then in turn robbed and stripped naked at gun point. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Stringer is starring in a six-part detective series, starts tommorrow 9pm on bbc.

browne_rob5 · 03-05-2010 11:09pm

It actually on at 22.55 on bbc1 Norhtern Ireland.

The Guardian gave the first episode a pretty good review.

Several of the actors from The Wire are in HBO's new series Treme (pronounced Tre-may), set in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

So far I've spotted the actors who play Bunk (yay!!) and Freamon, and a couple of the female actors were also in The Wire, but I can't pinpoint their character names.

It's also produced & written by David Simon. I've only watched the first episode, but it looks good, so am going to keep watching.

Glad someone mentioned this

I've seen the first ep, and my 'cousins in America' sent me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th episode. Wendell Pierce is great in it. Love those taxi rides

So strange to see Clarke Peters without his moustache... Anyway, will certainly keep watching. Oh, and John Goodman was great in the first episode, although I don't think he'll be a regular cast member.

I only started watching OZ after the Wire but still had one of those moments "Oh shiz, its Bodie!!!!"

Since the topic is "what the actors did next" anyone here of McNultys wedding in county Limerick??? I would love to crash that and get some autographs!!

Thats on in glin on the kerry limerick boarder. Reception is on in a pub there. Would imagin Micheal Fassbender would be there too since they've done a good few things together and he originally lived in Killarney about a 40 min drive away.

Cool I must check that out, I wouldn't be too far away from that, living in the Moyross area.

Burning Eclipse · 07-05-2010 3:24pm

Slim Charles showed up at the end of the 2nd episode of Treme. Was hoping Cheese would magically appear

so Slim could blow his head off again.

Nick Sobotka

just got run over on an episode of

Medium.

noodler · 15-05-2010 3:27pm

I searched the forum first but I saw no mention of Marlo's right hand man being in Fringe.

(Not the girl the other guy). He was an off the grid techie retrieving info from a Hard Drive - a role change alright.

Liam O · 15-05-2010 10:28pm

I watched Date Night with Tina Fey and Steve Carrell and Prop Joe had a small line in it near the end he is a bouncer at a strip club. I only realised it was him when I heard the Baltimore accent shine through.

Michael Williams (Omar) is in Brooklyns Finest, new film coming out

elnino35 · 31-05-2010 7:55pm

has potential...but a bit hammy at times

Sl!mCharles · 01-06-2010 8:52pm

this may have been previously mentioned but Major Bunny Colvin made an appearance in Prison Break season 3 in that Panaman prison, Soma or something!
he sported quite the beard:pac:

He's now in the new series of Burn Notice, well the first episode at least.

Also, I only recently found out that Tommy Carcetti is from very near where I'm from in Dublin.:eek:

thegoodgirl · 09-06-2010 10:08am

Just seen last week, Ronnie was in Bones this season, she played a lawyer who tried to kill bones and booth.

She seemed like Ronnie in front of the judge but then she turned out to be this wierdo, she was really good in it.

TrueDub · 14-06-2010 8:47am

Saw the film "Brooklyn's Finest" last night - there's lots of actors from The Wire in it, including:

* Omar
* Wee-bey
* The State Senator (can't remember his name)

browne_rob5 · 14-06-2010 6:14pm

Ssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh************tttttttttttt

How can you not remember his name!

Its Clay Davis

Keema (spelling?) now on The Good Wife, on RTE 2. Very underused in this episode, first thing i've seen her in since Wire time.

Double C · 22-06-2010 3:35pm

Keema was in Brothers and Sisters too. Another Wire alumni turned up in the last two episodes of Treme, playing a cop. Cant think of his name in the Wire though.

ejmaztec · 26-06-2010 9:05am

Looks like an unknown number of them are wedding guests in Glin, Co Limerick, because McNulty's getting married today.:D

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/wire-star-swaps-baltimore-beat-for-shannon-wedding-2235949.html?start=3

THE star of US President Barack Obama's favourite TV programme will marry his Irish fiancee in her family's castle today.
But Dominic West, alias Detective Jimmy McNulty from 'The Wire', does not expect to be mobbed by thousands of screaming fans descending on Glin, Co Limerick, for his wedding to Catherine FitzGerald, daughter of Desmond FitzGerald, the 29th Knight of Glin.
"I'm really lucky because 'Wire' fans are quite discreet people. I've meet thousands of them over the years and they never make a fuss, which is great," West said.
Although filming of the ground-breaking drama series ceased two years ago, the 40-year-old said he expected a number of famous faces from the Emmy Award-winning HBO series to attend his nuptials.
"There are a few people coming over from 'The Wire'. I invited them all -- but most actors, I'm delighted to say, are working which is unusual," he said.
"Had I married younger, I'm sure they would all have been out of work and able to attend."

Brendygg · 26-06-2010 10:29am

Ya, they were in the pub in Glin last night, few my friends met them.

dubmick · 29-06-2010 4:10pm

Bubbles was spotted on Baggot Street last night

HavingCrack · 03-02-2011 6:54pm

Omar aka (Michael Williams :pac:) is playing Atlantic City crime boss Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire. Spotted him briefly in the 1st episode but apparently he comes into it more later on.

mikemac · 16-04-2011 12:46pm

Reg Cathy who played Norman Wilson, the Mayor Carcetti's aide, is a sleazy, Don King style boxing promotor in Lights Out

Decent show, here's a trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWoLVWo_xVo

Not a very good trailer imo but sure give the show a chance

Reg is great in his role, a real sleaze who you'd never trust

Gillington · 27-04-2011 10:32pm

Spiros Vondas Wiki is in an episode of CSI : NY on right now RTE2

Fizman · 02-05-2011 11:35pm

Irish man Aidan Gillen (Mayor Carcetti) is in the new Game of Thrones. Can't say if it's a big part or not but going by the ad it could be.

A mate of mine was only telling me a bout that show over the weekend. Sounds promising. Herc was also in a few episodes of Entourage actually. His character was a psycho iirc!

orourkeda · 04-05-2011 11:01pm

I saw Jimmy McNultys wife in Analyse That the other night.

Not sure if it was filmed before, during or after the wire but she was looking damn fine.

TheoBoone · 06-05-2011 7:25pm

There's a new movie called Super coming out, starring Rainn Wilson, and according to IMDB, bubbles is going to be one of the main parts is it. Also, I was watching an old episode of Boston Legal last night, and one of the main plots in it was that Denny Crane(william Shatner) shoots a homeless man(Michael K Williams) in the head. It was funny watching Captain Kirk and Bubbles fighting.
There's also a movie called the Siege(1998) and Lance Riddick and Wood Harris(avon barksdale) are in it.

TrueDub · 17-05-2011 11:02am

Saw Ziggy in the first episode of the second season of Treme last night (not on broadcast tv).

There are already 2 Wire actors in Treme - Clarke Peters and Wendell Pierce, along with Khandi Alexander who was in The Corner.

TrueDub · 18-05-2011 8:31am

And last night I spotted two more Wire alumni in an episode of Blue Bloods - Roland Presby.... Presbo.. Pryzbylewski and Dectective Sydnor, playing a lawyer and bad guy respectively.

Gillington · 20-05-2011 5:23pm

Kima Greggs' partner Cheryl is supporting cast in a new program called Rookie Blues,think it was RTE 2 last night

Mr. Guappa · 31-05-2011 6:56pm

Both Bodie and Nick Sobotka showed up in the same episode of the Good Wife recently (S2)

Clarke Peters and Dominic West are appearing in Othello together at the Crucible in Sheffield.

Article from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13777886

civis_liberalis · 10-07-2011 2:37am

Doing this thread wrong but :rolleyes: ... funny to watch The Corner after having seen The Wire. Some guys that were so well cast in the Wire playing entirely different characters with the same believability.

Like Carcetti administrative aide Norman Wilson playing a real dope fiend (The guy that thought everything that happened to Carcetti was hilarious)

Watching the show feels like getting a small hit of The Wire

James Stern · 22-07-2011 10:25am

Dominic West has done a couple of recent things in the UK - he is currently starring in The Hour on the BBC and is also in Butley, a stage play in London - Dominic West - the Hour and Butley

Both Cutty and Bunk are in Horrible Bosses, the new Jason Bateman film. Cutty only has a pretty small part, but Bunk's part is big enough.
