plenzmd1 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Not surprising the way he went, but still a sad day . Good article, and lots of good links regarding The Wire.

bbb Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Why is it that pretty much any actor on The Wire didn't become bigger after that?

Some are doing okay. Idris Elba (stringer bell) is huge overseas i believe and has scattered movies and projects working. Omar's on Boardwalk Empire. Frank Sobotka's on True Blood. Tommy Carcetti's running a whorehouse on Game of thrones........theres some scattered actors still working off that show.
bbb Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I probably shouldn't have said that, because I watch more movies than I do TV, so I guess I expected to see more of these actors in the movies. I don't think I've ever even seen McNulty in anything.

I don't think I've ever even seen McNulty in anything. He was in "300", "Punisher:Warzone", and "Rock Star" - off the top of my head.
bbb Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I never even heard of the first two and the third one was before The Wire.
PaattMaann Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 couple of my faves: "The feeling is it ain't right for you to be at the head of our table, when you can't call off your dog. Call it a crisis of leadership." - to Stringer " It ain't easy civilizin' this mother!@#$er " - about Marlo
Maury Ballstein Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 "a businessman such as myself does not believe in bad blood with a man such as yourself---it disturbs the sleep" to Marlo.
bbb Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Was it his first time being shown in the series when he was coaching the rival basketball team to Avon/Stringer's team and Stringer is going off on him wearing a suit when it's 95 degrees out - who do you think you are, Pat Reilly?

"Dress the part be the part mofo" I think that was his first appearance.
