can't find a pic of kima in Step up 2: The Streets lol

i've been meaning to start a thread like this for literally years (althoguh more as a "search and destroy" watching guide thing than a picture thread)

in scorsese's 'bringing out the dead':

michael k. williams as the mortally wounded drug dealer nicolas cage tries to save.

sonja sohn as cliff curtis' doped-up girl.

Isiah Whitlock (Clay Davis) is actually one of two Wire actors to sport beards and play beleaguered fathers in the same series of Verizon commercials (the other being the guy who plays a Sun editor and was also on Flight of the Conchords)

xp omar - was just about to post that, after trying to find pics to no avail.

Carcetti was ridiculous in Shanghai Knights:

McNulty looks utterly ridiculous in any other role doesn't he? Hairstyle choices don't help

funny thing about this is that she's playing basically the same 'stern parent/guardian' role that Rhonda Pearlman played in the first Step Up movie!

Is Oz worth watching?

yes

i remember it being less polished and crazier than the wire, but i loved it at the time.

here is the crooked reporter from series five as tina fey's date in the underrated 'baby mama'

http://www.hotflick.net/flicks/2008_Baby_Mama/Thumb/008BBM_Thomas_McCarthy_002.jpg

iirc he was in 'duplicity' too

he directed station agent and the visitor too, obv

there are loads more ozzers in the wire also: norman, lester, avon

Dude who plays Tony Gray is in "Duplicity" and "Michael Clayton"

Sadly I can't find a picture of Prez with soul patch and sensitive world-music fan hat as seen in Singles.

wait wait no way that was him -- the maitre d'?

Commissioner Burrell plays a homeless man in Freejack

At the water fountain.

kima and bubbles were both in some movie called "G"

mind is currently blown by Prez in the Hudsucker Proxy

I'm tempted to see the remake of Pelham 123 because Chris Partlow is in it. Is he one of the hijackers?

oz def worth watching

is that omar w/knife from the upcoming adaptation of The Road?

burrell is also in the thomas crowne affair remake

xp, y

Marlo and Bubs on Heroes

yeah MKWilliams is in The Road, i definitely heard about that a while back

Come round my yard I've got The Shield seasons 1 - 6 on't betamax!

Paul Ben-Victor (Spiros Vondas / Vondopoulos) as one of mob lawyer Christopher Walken's sub-goons in True Romance (alongside a pre-fat, pre-bald, pre-Sopranos Gandolfini )

I'm sure it's been posted before, but I did a literal spit-take when I showed my daughters Trapped in the Closet:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNeITqRV3VQ

Domenick Lombardozzi (not-entirely-ethical Baltimore cop Herc) as a New York cop getting paid off with Britney Spears tickets in the first two minutes of Phone Booth (2003).

Rawls is on The Boys

There's a bit in the oral history book where Andre Royo (i think) mentions losing a job because they had cast Michael K. Williams in another role and didn't want two Wire actors in their movie because then people would compare it to The Wire.

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.

Damages season 2 had Rawls, Freamon and the newspaper guy from season 5. Clearly trying to be as complicated as the Wire and failing.

xp henry -- yes, they did overlap, but then two of them died soon after iirc

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.

Sadly I can't find a picture of Prez with soul patch and sensitive world-music fan hat as seen in Singles.

Just found this out today.

https://ilarge.lisimg.com/image/21515218/1118full-singles-screenshot.jpg

caught bubbles in the slight but kind of cool and effective sci-fi Prospect the other day. "bubbles!" i said.

City on a Hill (Showtime): Rawls as Rawls, but a District Attorney arguing a case in front of Judge Phelan who plays Judge Phelan but with a Bahston accent

That's amazing.

Prez also turned up as a lothario poet/guitar teacher in Saint Frances (it's a good film too, on Netflix).

Such a long time since I saw this, I barely recall Prez's character, it's frightening how much the guy on the far left looks like Keir Dullea tho'.

I'm sure this is old news but Chris Bauer has a role in For All Mankind. I knew that he wore a fat suit when he played Sobotka, but damn, I didn't realize just how trim he is till I saw him on FAM.

Isiah Whitlock is in Gremlins 2 as a firefighter for about half a second.
