Wire Actors in other things

Bunk in Hackers is great, you can see even at that early stage his suit-acting is at a very high level, getting lots of mileage out of doing his jacket up. Brother Mouzone is also in Hackers for a second.

I don't think anyone's mentioned Burrell in that upcoming quirky-aspie movie Adam. Based on the trailer, his character's purpose is to sit on a park bench and dispense wisdom.

I think that was also his role in Freejack.

Also: Brianna Barksdale as a political consultant on The West Wing.

I was sad that Herc only lasted a couple episodes in Oz. I had high hopes for him.

high rapey hopes

Nooooo!

Namond's badass mommy De'londa played a flight attendant on Leverage.

It took a while for me to recognise her without the big hair and fur coat...

Rhonda Pearlman played an FBI agent on last weeks Law and Order CI. I really hoped she was going to be an assistant DA.

Lester turns up (and is mildly amusing) in godawful Paul Dano/Zooey Deschanel indie rom-com Gigantic

clay davis was in a really good episode of svu i caught on usa the other day, playing the ex-husband of a raped police officer

in hackers i was more distracted trying to remember where i'd seen the gay dude before -- it was as sally-cant-dance in Con Air -- and by it being pretty terrible.

Reg E Cathey was really good in Oz.

Fellow also got taken to dinner by Michelle Pfeifer. Can't relate to a straightforward yes/no critical stance on hackers

can't believe i just sat through awful teen slasher flick Prom Night. also can't believe Ziggy and Stringer are in it... as cops.

I watched Nick and Norah last night (shut up!); Burrell is in it.

it's been driving me nuts (and it may have been mentioned and I just missed it) but I finally realized:

Clay Davis in Goodfellas

Kadeem Hardison is in The Wire?

Clarence Royce!

jk jk jk

tho i kinda wish they had picked kadeem to play carcetti in retrospect

Dean Winters would have made an awesome Carcetti.

i would support a "recast the wire" thread.

if you started it, I would contribute.

I will, but am going to have to fight my natural inclination to post/put up with horribly formed "jokes" of the "Miley Cyrus as Snoop" variety

Whitley = Snoop

lolo xpost

Recast 'The Wire'

herc is in 'miami vice'

I watched that "Obsessed" movie with Idris ... he looks better with facial hair than without. Psycho stalker chick was not nearly as accomplished as the one in Season 2 of Dexter.

Brianna Barksdale in some trailer forget what it was. Fame maybe?

just saw Frank Sobotka holding a train hostage on some random TV show on A&E. Probably a CSI, couldn't be bothered.

the "stuff that terrified you as a kid" thread reminded me that carcetti's advisor, reg e. cathey, was a cast member of Square One.

Here he's a rapping judge:

i just got to the part in oz where reg e cathey comes in and he still terrifies me.

yeah he was in the opening credits in the vid i posted above, i didn't even remember him, the only people i remember from that show were the mathnet cops

"I don't dig bunk."

D'Angelo smoking ice and playing russian roulette high with an undercover agent portrayed by an Australian underwear model, in Patrick Swayze FBI-veteran-on-the-edge series The Beast.

amazing

well maybe not 'amazing', but seeing burrell in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men is probably going to be good for a laugh.
