The cast from HBO's THE WIRE. Where are they now? (1 Viewer)

[SacramentoBob]

This movie looks kind of awesome:

Omar as the real Ricky Ross should be

I saw him in the new Robo Cop trailer too.

For some reason I always get all excited when someone from the Wire pops up in something else.

My wife is sick of hearing me say "he was on The Wire!" Used to be the same way with OZ years ago.

Considering just about everyone that was in Oz was in The Wire, that must've really bugged her.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Also, DA Pearlman was in season 2 Orange Is The New Black.

Came here to post this. That's 2 from The Wire now.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Lester Freamon, Clay Davis and Frank Sobotka are all in a new show The Divide on WE

I was skeptical but I thought the pilot was really interesting.

What is WE?

 

[SacramentoBob]

Skipp Sudduth, who sort of looks like Frank Sobotka was also in Orange Is The New Black. Skipp starred in 3rd Watch, which featured a few episodes with Bunk and Omar.

It's all coming together!

Hmmm...outside of Bodie and Carver, who else was in OZ? It's been a while since I saw OZ.

Jesus.

Avon, Bodie, Carver, Herc, Rawls, Daniels off the top of my head. Might be 1 or 2 more.

So you recognized Avon from his one appearance on OZ? Or Herc for his 2?

Daniels was definitely one I forgot about. Loved his character in OZ.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Querns/Carcetti's advisor whose name I forget.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Don't #### with Querns.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Cheese.

Damn, way more than I realized. Can't believe I didn't notice Freamon.

The actor, who has seen his share of violence in Columbia Heights growing up, was shot 13 times as a youth

Dammmmnnnn.....

 

[jamny]

Marlo was in this week's episode of The Strain

 

[chauncey]

Wallace was in That Awkward Moment, it took an hour into the film to realize it was him, all grown up. Also Omar made a cameo during the credits as himself (at least I think it was this movie, may have been another one I saw around same time)

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Lt. Rawls is in Rizzoli & Isles every so often.

umm yeah the actor who plays wallace is a pretty big actor now. Gonna play the human torch in the new fantastic four

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Omar is in Boardwalk Empire.

 

[pollardsvision]

Bubbles plays the mayor in the Amazon pilot streaming now ('Hand of God') with Ron Perlman.

Solid pilot and I'm watching anything with Mayor Bubbles no matter what.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

It looks like Breanna (sp?) Barksdale is in the movie Nightcrawler

 

[jhib]

Herc made a good appearance on The Good Wife last night as a "prison consultant" preparing a lawyer who is about to begin a 4 year stint.

 

[bigmarc27]

My wife and I recently watched through BurnNotice on netflix. She got irked because every time someone showed up from the wire' I'd mention it. Wallace made an appearance, Cutty, Bunny and Kima had multiple episode arcs.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Burrell on the Good Wife as some sort of clergy guy.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Burrell on the Good Wife as some sort of clergy guy.

And his son is Chris Partlow, a pastor who has appeared before on the show with the Governor.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Avon's on Justified.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

doesn't seem like it's been mentioned, but Burrell has a regular role on Banshee.

 

[chauncey]

New Amazon show Bosch introduces Marlo and Lt Daniels in the first five minutes. Hope it turns out to be a solid show. Looks like season one was just released today on prime.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I had a dream that Omar was on the Walking Dead.

 

[Arizona Ron]

I've seen several on The Black List (I'm sure someone already brought this up)

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Whoa. Episode of Criminal Minds from 2013 has Mayor Royce playing a murderer and Carver is his son.

 

[chauncey]

Rawls plays a bishop in an episode of House of Cards season 3. Pretty comical ending to the scene where Spacey visits the church.

The human torch was denied a bank loan

 

[Fariq]

Omar is in "Inherent Vice"

 

[Sinn Fein]

Stringer Bell sets land speed record in United Kingdom

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Burrell on the Good Wife as some sort of clergy guy.

And his son is Chris Partlow, a pastor who has appeared before on the show with the Governor.

And now Carver as a medical marijuana defendant and Brody as the #2 in a drug cartel. This show basically has all the former Wire'ers.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

House of Cards has the rest.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Stringer Bell sets land speed record in United Kingdom

That is outstanding.
