xpost: totally floored by the fact that McNulty = Cromwell. At the time of broadcast, I thought the latter performance was just phenomenal, totally believable both in terms of physicality and character, with a figure -arguably, the English Stalin - who could so easily have been played as a pantomime villain.
I've watched the whole of The Wire on DVD over the last three months, and never once twigged that McNulty was the same guy.

I just can't get past that part in that "people from the wire/hlots" clip where the medical examiner is in the middle of a heated confrontation with Tony Gray and lifts his chin up. Perhaps the most uncanny Wire-actors-in-other-things moment I've seen.

that's Tina Fey's husband, who does the score for 30 Rock and often appears as Jenna's accompanist

This past week I watched like 8 various Law & Orders at various times and ALL of them had Wire actors in them somewhere. Nick Sobotka as a failed actor. Burrell as an upstate cop, sorta improbably letting Benson's brother off the hook for shooting a hostage. Carver as Goren's temporary replacement. Rawls as a convict/informant. Method Man terrorizing Nigerians. Judge Phelan as a New York judge. Omar as that hitman. It might have been more than 8, even.

The crossover isn't surprising -- there's a crapload of actors in the Wire and pretty much any TV actor hits L&O at some point -- but like four of those were watched during some kind of marathon, so it was like four in a row

I was randomly channel surfing and had stopped on the Cosby Show and thought to myself "hey, this guy looks like Carver". I watched the whole thing to make sure it was him. Saw him on L&O:CI as a detective, and on Oz where he played a CO (along with a scene with him in full naked glory). I'm sure his wife must be a very happy woman, etc.

ok, I've been obsessed with Graham Nash's Innocent Eyes music video from 1986 this week. This won't be the last time I bring it up on ilx either. And I might be wrong about this, but the actor playing the boy here - is that Carcetti? Especially look at his facial expression around 0:37.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KwQORT1T6k
― ☮ (peace, man), Thursday, 14 February 2019 19:22 (five years ago) link
The actor, Aidan Gillen, would have been 18 at the time. I can't find anything on his wikipedia page that would support him being in a (presumably) L.A.-based music video shoot.
― ☮ (peace, man), Thursday, 14 February 2019 19:27 (five years ago) link
also, he doesn't look anything like Aiden Gillen, and even looks more like the other main Queer As Folk dudes

― steven, soda jerk (sic), Thursday, 14 February 2019 19:34 (five years ago) link
I dunno. Maybe it was just the beady eyes and cheekbones. But he displays a couple of Carcetti-like (and even Littlefinger-like) facial expressions. Especially in those first 40 seconds during the living room sequence. The hair's obviously different, but it was the 80s and people did all kinds of shit with hair. I've never seen Queer as Folk, but I don't think he looks remotely like either of those two other dudes.
And you're probably right that it's not him, but I'd watched the video a few dozen times and every time his face came up, I was like "who the fuck is that?" And suddenly something about the look he gives around 0:37 really said Carcetti to me.
― ☮ (peace, man), Thursday, 14 February 2019 20:09 (five years ago) link
I didn’t watch the whole thing, just skipped to 0:37 tbh

Carcetti is Irish? That's almost more surprising than Stringer or McNutty being British.

I just saw Wendel Pierce as Willy Loman on the West End stage in London - in a production that did nothing to change my opinion on the hokey 'Why you I oughta' qualities of that particular play and of stage acting in general. Still it was either that or pay 70 friggin' quid to watch West Ham play Leicester City.

Wendel Pierce also in a rather hopeless role as Alfre Woodard's husband in Clemency, but for a change it's good to see a male actor in the supportive/anguished spouse role.

Wonder what the record is for Most Wire Actors in a Single Film or TV Show is, post-The Wire. The Walking Dead had Cutty, D'Angelo and Carver, though I can't recall if Carver overlapped with the other two.

The question would be: as members of an ensemble cast, or in terms of appearances throughout the duration of a show? Like, if we're talking appearances, the winner would probably be something like CSI whatever or Criminal Minds or Supernatural or one of those long running killer/monster of the week shows.
