    It seems "Heroes" is where the actors from the Wire are moving to. Marlow and Bubbles have been on the latest season so far. It must be a major change of pace from the reality based script of the Wire.

    Michael (Tristan Wilds) has a part on Beverly Hills 90210 :eek:

    His story was really tragic on the Wire, same with Dukie and Randy.

    It's so unfair yet true to life that Namond is the one who gets away from it all.

    From the mountainous fatness of many of the characters, they've probably landed in the heart clinic or the funeral home by now.

    I also doubt that's the last we will see of him on Lost!

    No, Michaell was the one who knew how important school was. Whenever Namond asked him to go on the corner, he refused. He also refused to take Marlo's money.

    The only reason he got caught up in 'the game' was because he was sexually abused as a kid. I'd hardly call that 'wanting it'. Would you?

    He didnt take Marlo's money because he didnt want to be his bitch. He knew how important school was for Bug thats still not to say he didnt end up doing what he wanted to do.

    He didnt take Marlo's money or do what Namond told him to do as he was his own man. He was very independent.

    Where was he sexually abused? I dont remember that.

    Any ways back on topic

    It is strongly implied that Michael was sexually abused by Bug's father. Just look at Michael's distrust of adult males (he won't let Cutty touch him and won't let Cutty drive him home alone. When Prez tries to talk to him he turns on him.) He doesn't want to be in the 'game'. He realises how important education is for him and Bug like I already said.
    But then Bug's father returns and we realise the history between him and Michael. Just watch the episodes, listen to the dialogue between Michael and his mother. "People change" etc.
    Then when Snoop asks Michael what Bug's Dad did to him he stays silent and looks up at Chris. Chris realises as he himself was sexually abused as a kid. We learn this later. Anyway, it is finally known when Snoop and Chris are walking Bug's father down the alleway and Chris starts asking him if he's a paedophile.
    Then later, when Michael commits his first murder Chris says "You can look them in they eye now, no matter who they were or what they did". This implies that both Chris and Michael were vicitms of sexual abuse.

    I don't think Michael wanted in the 'game'. It wasn't him, he knew it and so did Cutty. But when he asked for Marlo's help in getting Bug's father taken care of, he was theres.

    My brother was watching Heroes last night. Seeing a big shock of lightning or something come out of Bubbles's hand made me lol. That show is so ridiculous, it's definitely got a lot worse imho.

    We should probably expect a few actors from the Wire popping up in the Law&Order series.

    Dominic West (McNulty) is slated to play the villain, Jigsaw, in the December 2008 movie Punisher: War Zone.

    Wee-Bey/Hassan Johnson had a very small part in Entourage too.

    Remember when Turtle signed that promising rapper Saigon? Wee-Bey was the guy that took him from Turtle cos they 'already had a deal'
