Anything Wire related post here

Everyone's favourite politician Isiah "Sheeeeeeeeeeeet Clay Davis" Whitlock Jr. is in the film "Enchanted" for a few scenes.

JPA

Amy Ryan i.e. Off. Beatrice 'Beadie' Russell from Season 2 and beyond has been nominated for an oscar for her part in Gone Baby Gone. (very good film BTW)


Daniels is in Lost now too.

Thats fairly cool for Amy Ryan. Never even heard of the film. I should get out more

Dennis the Stone

To put it like a true gentleman: I'd love to take Amy Ryan out to dinner and then back to my house for a brandy and game of backgammon

Lance "Cedric Danniels" Reddick was in "Lost", reminding me how ultimately inferior that castaway show is.

Domenick "Herc" Lombardozzi was in "Entourage" where he played a loser - keeping it to form then.

A number of the cast popped up in "The Kill Point".

godtabh

I like herc

mccafferty

Both the Greek and Tony Gray, the council man, had small parts in Michael Clayton.

JPA

Bubbles was in the latest episode of The sarah connor chronicles.
He's a soldier which seems so wrong!
His voice and accent are the exact same though.

Crumbs

Gbenga Akinnagbe (Chris Partlow) had a good role in The Savages. He plays a male nurse in an old folk's home which is pretty much the opposite of Chris Partlow!

mccafferty

Just after noticing that Robert Wisdom, who play's Bunny Colvin plays Lechero in Prison Break. I've never really watched prison break before, just caught the odd episode now and again but you'd hardly recognise the guy as Bunny from the wire.

Clearly Dept. Comm is treating him well.

Jim

Not strictly a TV spot but Omar appeared in most of the R Kelly opera as the cop.

Think this is the first one hes in

That was quite a funny one. I've worked it into 'The Wire' too - he's sent back in time and can't cope with the pressure of saving the future and turns to heroin, calling himself Bubbles.

RastaRed

Just seen Omar(Swat Team member) and Bodie(bank robber) in new show on bravo The Kill Point, not bad

JPA

Actors from the Wire are everywhere.

D'Angelo and Norman are both in The Machinist.

Freamon is briefly in Notting Hill.

Jim

Watched 300 the other night and noticed McNulty in it. It was a big strange, he looked totally out of place, his facial expressions etc were the exact same as in The Wire. He looked more like McNulty trying to play the part rather than the actor heh.

godtabh

I have 300. Gona give it a watch when I have a chance.

Just on that point though are you saying Jimmy is type cast? HE can only play one character?

If memory serves me correctly, Omar is in Gone Baby Gone too.

Flicking through the channels yesterday and saw "The Siege" with Denzel Washington. Lt. Daniels is in it, with a small part. A minute or two later a uniformed cops turns round to give his one line of the film....and its Avon Barksdale!

I think he's type cast in our minds more than anything.
But in saying that he's also in Hannibal Rising playing a french detective and it is so wrong.

Sherifu

Jamie Hector[Marlo] in the Jericho finale.

johnmahon010186

Judge Phelans in The Inside Man. He plays Denzel Washingtons boss in it.

mccafferty

I noticed the guy who plays Maurice Levy (the lawyer) in King of Queens when i was flicking through channels earlier on today. He played a bore at a party.

tvnutz

Was watching an episode of Cold Case on Sky One there and Michael B Jordan (Wallace) was in it. Then a few seconds later I see another character,hey its Maestro Harrell (Randy). They play brothers in the episode. About 10 minutes later they introduce the mother of one of the characters and hey its Sandi McCree (Delonda Brice-Namond's mom). I was half expecting the rest of the Wire cast to turn up after that,but didn't happen. Was funny to see them all one after the other.

shaz101

a lot pop up in csi vegas as well mostly small parts herc is in a few episodes as a police officer

Double C

I knew that Burrell was in Slience of the Lambs playing Barney, the attendant for Hannibal Lector in the prison, but I'm after watching Manhunter, the older version of Red Dragon, and he is in that too, playing a small role as a cop.

Daniels, Carver and Bodie are in Oz too.

tvnutz

There are so many Wire actors in Oz,from big parts to small roles.

The newest episode of Without a Trace had the guy who plays Levy in it.

Double C

I just saw the Hudsucker Proxy and Prez is great in it!

By the way, Norman Wilson played Kwerns in Oz, and Herc had a bit part, I cant think of any other actors in both the Wire and Oz, are there any more?

loads more,as you said the actors who plays Norman and Herc were in it for a bit. Rawls was in about 2 eps. Daniels played an under cover cop who

eventually gets killed by the actor

who plays Carver. The guy who plays Freamon was in an episode as was the chap who plays Burell. Then obviously there was Wangler who was Bodie in the Wire. Avon was the C.O that gave Sayid the gun in season 1. Method Man (Cheese) was in a few episodes. Thats all I can think of at the moment and I have only seen up to season 4 of OZ. There could be more in the last 2 seasons.

Double C

Cool, must watch Oz again so! Bob Rebadow pops up in a few episodes of the Wire in season 2 too.

Hrududu

I saw Maestro Harrell in an episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen the other night. He was also in an episode of Cold Case, but I didnt recognise his brother as being the same actor that played Wallace.

Earlier in the week both Omar and Namond were in the same episode of Law and Order: SVU.

Rjd2

I caught Wood Harris (Avon) in Southland tales when I watched it the other night

McNulty

Avon in Remember the Titans (good film)
Scott Templeton in Meet the Parents
Dominic West was in the Catherine tate show a while back...
Steve Earle on the radio all the time... (I know it doesn't)

TakeTheVeil

The Wire got a mention in the new episode of The Office (US).

Ryan asks Michael how he should deal with his friend who is into drugs. Michael gives him a big long convoluted answer which involved putting a wire on his friend, to bust his dealer, then flipping the dealer so he becomes a snitch so they can get information on the real big players.. then Michael turns to the camera and says "I've been watching a lot of The Wire recently". It was pretty funny

Yeah that was funny - he also followed up that line with a dig at their thick Baltimore accents: "I don't understand a word"

godtabh

I only say the office last night. Thought the Wire line was good!

Maybe the americans get it a but more if the Office is mentioning it!

ixoy

Kind of a spot from the future, but Tristan Wilds, who played Michael in S4/S5, has landed a prime position on the latest 'Beverley Hills 90210' spinoff...

Not something I intend to watch but fair play to him. He was very good in the Wire,very good actor overall. Deserves to go places.

Are you sure that was him? I thought it was him but as it was in the background I wasnt sure

godtabh

Amy Ryan was in The Office. I wonder is she going to be in it full time. Hope so. I think she is great

Dennis the Stone

Anyone see Omar in the Incredible Hulk, just for a split-second :pac:

herbieflowers

what part in the film?

I think it was just as the Abomination (Tim Roth) is tearing up the city, you see him (Michael K Williams) run out of a shop in a colourful shirt. I was certain it was him, so I looked it up, apparently Edward Norton put him in as he is a fan of The Wire :pac:

herbieflowers

haha, classic...well from watching Oz I've seen D'Angelo (an extra), Avon (he played a CO for one episdoe iirc), Carver, Daniels, Rawls, Bodie...

godtabh

D'Angelo is in the Water Boy now.

godtabh

Clark Johnson is in SWAT on RTE now

amacachi

Marlo is in the new season of Heroes, looks like he may have a big part in it too.

JPA

Frank Sobotka is in True Blood playing a cop.

RastaRed
