I know this thread is for where are they now, but I was watching the Tom Hanks movie, 'The Money Pit' last night, and a couple of actors took me by surprise:

Wallace is one of the main characters in Chronicle though I must admit I hadn't recognised him until I read it

I knew it was him going into the film, but would have found it hard to recognise him myself. When I saw him though, all I could think was "Where's Wallace? Where the f*ck is Wallace? Huh? String? Where Wallace at?"

Definitely knew it was him when you see pictures of him where he was younger, he has the hair and stuff. He was actually pretty good in that film too.

He was in the last 2 seasons of Friday Night Lights too which I watched recently and someone who hadn't seen it said to me he heard Wallace from the Wire was in it and I had to check and it was true, didn't have a clue it was him, he looks much different alright.

civis_liberalis · 20-02-2012 1:50am

Old news, but I love how Michael K Williams (Omar) plays Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire.

My first reaction when I saw him the first time was "OMFG OMAR!", but he's in no danger whatsoever of being typecast as Omar. How he's been playing Chalky has really impressed me.

civis_liberalis · 28-02-2012 1:22pm

Wallace was Patient of the Week on House last night. Also, Billy Connolly.

Spacedog · 29-02-2012 9:55pm

Omar's all up in off the wall comedy 'Community' playing a long term convict turned self thought professor of biology...

Dominic West will be in upcoming Martian science fiction film John Carter.

kupus · 01-03-2012 3:06pm

Isiah Withlock (Clay Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit Davis) is in a movie called Cedar Rapids. A pretty good movie if you can get past the first half hour the laughs come then and you get a good few loud out loud moments. I nearly turned it off as I thought it was crap at the start but Im glad I didnt. John C Reilly when he appears is just brilliant as the obnoxious salesman that a lot of us know!! Well worth a view.

Eimear811 · 14-10-2013 12:17pm

Bunk showed up in Suits lately as Rachel's father. They had some nice references to the Wire in that episode too. Nick Sobotka (Pablo Schreiber) plays a pervy prison guard in Orange is the New Black. Also McNulty is the baddie in the second Johnny English movie!

Duffy the Vampire Slayer · 04-02-2014 9:21am

Michael K Williams has a small part in 12 Years A Slave. Also, for any Mad Men fans, Bryan Batt (Salvator Romano) is in it too.

Barnavave · 01-11-2014 12:59am

Hassan Johnson, who played Weebay Brice, recently appeared in an episode of The Blacklist.

Jamie Hector aka Marlo was in an episode of The Strain.

M'Nulty was on tonights Late Late, you'd think he would give that Turbidy a slap.

.red. · 01-11-2014 9:29am

Wendell Pierce aka Bunk has a recurring part in Suits.

Yeah, he was in it a decent amount, although not one of the main characters really. Played Al Capone's brother.

.red. · 03-11-2014 6:19am

I was watching The Blacklist last night and 2 lads from the wire popped up in it.
Lance Reddick/Cedric Daniels played a hit man cowboy and Hassan Johnson/Wee Bey played an FBI detective.

He was also in an episode of Person of Interest, if I remember correctly. I think in early season 2.
