ILOTSMYBRAIN Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 You don't really know what Bodie was going to do. McNulty was having an effect on him for sure. I think him standing on the corner not running shows the route he would have taken had he not gotten killed. Perhaps that's just my wishful thinking. Also been at least 2 years before I watched an episode of The Wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFightOner Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I don't know man, I think McNulty had him primed to rat. Either way, he didn't, so I can still keep him as my favorite character from the show haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the radiologist Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Rented all of season five a couple days ago, and just wrapped it up. Waited over a year to wrap up the last season. Not disappointed at all, just wish I knew the road Marlo took from the last episode, and Omar definitely died on some gay shit. They should've kept his character going 'till the last episode. After season one, lost a $5 bet to my girl that Bodie would be the next kingpin. I should realize, all the fuckin' good shows kill off people you'd least expect to. Fuckin' bullshit. But gained $10 back from ol' girl when she thought Dookie, or whatever his name is, was going to work for a beastiality colony, when he decided to live with the crackhead junkmen that drive horses around town!! HAHAHA. Great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the radiologist Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 By the way, I heard people tell me that a couple characters off this show were straight pulled off the B-more streets without any acting experience. Does anyone know which ones? All I peeped from watching the behind the scenes is that Proposition Joe talks like a striaght homosexual, completely different tone from his character. Has to be a gay.

SwampFightOner Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Snoop did time for murder when she was younger, the guy who plays Omar pulled her out of a club. I know Slim Charles was a thug in DC when he was younger, gun charges or something like that Alot of people who makes cameos are oldhead dealers/stickup kids from Baltimore who the creator knows. Omar's boy who helps him go after Marlo is one who comes to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The one I was trying to think of earlier is Omar's boy "Donnie". The guy who played him was a real life stickup kid The guy who plays "The Deacon" was also a drug kingpin back in the day. He was arrested by the show's writer, and the show's creator covered the story in the paper. He caught a 34 year sentence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 nice, thanks this is some great trivia. Donnie is played by Larry "Donnie" Andrews, whose real life exploits inspired much of the character of Omar. Andrews is married to Francine Boyd, whom David Simon wrote about in The Corner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_Williams_(actor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFightOner Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The Deacon was such a fuckin thug haha "Melvin Williams was actively involved with drug trafficking throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. During that time Williams was periodically arrested on minor charges. In the early 1980s federal agents along with the Baltimore Police Department launched an investigation into his activities. One of the investigators working on the case was Ed Burns. On December 6, 1984 Williams was arrested on cocaine trafficking charges. On February 7, 1985, he was convicted and sentenced to 34 years in prison. He served part of his sentence in the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary. In May 1987, the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) assessed taxes in the amount of $425,055 and seized the Williams home. While still in prison his life story was featured in a series of articles written by future The Wire creator David Simon. "Easy Money: Anatomy of a Drug Empire” a series of five articles was published in the Baltimore Sun in 1987. Williams was released on parole in 1996 (Parole has since been abolished in the federal system). In March 1999 he pistol whipped a man over a $500 debt. Williams, who at the time was on parole and had an extensive criminal record, was sentenced to 22 years in prison in December 2000 after one mistrial. However his sentence was reduced by the same judge who imposed the original 22 year term. He was released from prison in September 2003."

ILOTSMYBRAIN Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Season 1. Avon and Stringer Bell, Wee Bay, Byrd. Season three and four we're good too. I even enjoyed what they did in the final season. Still though the first one is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleKushy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I didn't get into the wire until recently, because i'd once caught a scene on TV where D' is making some long chess analogy to his boys regarding the drug game...

Ferris Bueller Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Snoop did time for murder when she was younger, the guy who plays Omar pulled her out of a club. I know Slim Charles was a thug in DC when he was younger, gun charges or something like that Alot of people who makes cameos are oldhead dealers/stickup kids from Baltimore who the creator knows. Omar's boy who helps him go after Marlo is one who comes to mind The person who plays Slim Charles is a musician in a D.C. go-go band. They did a version of the opening score, but not sure which episode or season. But yeah, Snoop did time for second-degree murder. She was on "No Reservations" giving Anthony Bourdain a tour of Bmore and they both spoke on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
