    Im a latecomer to The Wire and started watching after seeing Generation Kill*
    Just started watching season 2 and pleasantly surprised to see Ziggy is played by a younger, skinnier James Ransome aka 'Ray Ray' Person.

    *another contender for Best Show ever on TV

    McNulty a.k.a Dominic West is on the intro to Eminems new album, Relapse, as Dr West. Don't worry he doesn't rap

    Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but just saw Frank Sobotka in True Blood on Fx, as a police chief. Still bald.

    Sorry this is OT but do you know if Generation Kill is airing on FX or Channel 4 or any other channel for that matter again?

    Clarke Peters aka Lester Freamon has been in Holby City recently. Bit of a strange one that.

    Lots of The Wire actors starting to show up in the CSI shows now, Cutty was a lab tech in CSI: Miami last week and Omar was in CSI:NY recently as a criminal I think!

    I've actually just started watching it yesterday. So far I've already seen Bodie and Burrell.

    Not sure where SWAT (Colin Farrell) fits into the timeline of The Wire but Herc and Carcettis Adviser(Chief of staff) or whatever is in SWAT..

    I'm pretty sure there is somebody else aswell from Season 5 but I just can't put my finger on it..

    More really "What 'The Wire' actors did before' but if you check out Larry Clark's barely-ever-released "Ken Park", you'll see a lot more of James Ransone (Ziggy) than you probably ever wanted to see and whatever you imagine I mean by that, you're probably only halfway there...

    Herc was in an episode of Entourage

    He was in 3 or 4 episodes in the last series and popped up again in 1 episode in the new series.

    Just saw the last episode of Entourage with Herc in it, the one shown on RTE2, he's perfect as E and Vince's recidivist friend, Dom, a complete bonehead. Funnily enough, in the same episdoe was Spiros, or the guy who played him, as a movie director named Alan, who has a heart attack on the golf course. These wire-heads are everywhere.

    Ya Spiros was in a good few episodes in the last couple of series, its always weird seeing any of The Wire actors out of Baltimore!

    The last few films I've seen all had Wire actors in it:

    Prom Night: Idris Elba and Ziggy as partners (Cops)
    Nick & Norahs Infinite Playlist: Frankie Faison
    The Unborn: Idris Elba
    Marley and Me: Clarke Peters

    Frank Sobotka also plays a cop in the series "True Blood".

    anyone spot the cameo by Richard Belzer (Sgt. John Munch from Homicide).. he's sitting at the bar in one the early episodes of Season 5, arguing with the bartender over his tab.
