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.

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.

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.

weirded me out that in the Rawls drag scene, Lester makes his first appearance AND another character uses a Judge Phelan-esque turn of phrase about "throwing a hump into her"
