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.

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:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qopIOUYZ7cE

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

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

This thread is great, but I can't even believe no-one has mentioned Bunk as the Republican Lexus dealer who gets booted off the bus in Spike Lee's Get On the Bus! (Wendall Pierce also appears as himself in Lee's Katrina doc.)
whoever said the thing about the end of 8MM being hilarious if you see it after knowing Frank Sobotka OTM.

Carver was in Starship Troopers― clotpoll, Saturday, 11 July 2009 15:22 (2 months ago)
― clotpoll, Saturday, 11 July 2009 15:22 (2 months ago)
Was just watching this, and I said "wow, apart from Neil Patrick Harris, I think this is the best thing any of these actors ever wound up being in," which I figured would probably be untrue based on some older character actor, and not because Carver popped up in the next scene.

haha wait, I had forgotten Rue McClanahan was in it, too

i think marimow has an uncredited role in the 30 rock 3rd season christmas ep as jenna's accompanist

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.
― EDB, Thursday, 22 October 2009 14:01 (fourteen years ago) link
that's Tina Fey's husband, who does the score for 30 Rock and often appears as Jenna's accompanist
he is about half the height of Marimow

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.
― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Friday, 23 October 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
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
