The Wire is one of my favorite tv shows of all time, actually thinking about re-watching it from the beginning again.

I'd love to have a ring tone or text message tone that said "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit" haha

I'll just chime in with the rest (I'm sure I've already posted somewhere in here), The Wire is easily the most captivating and honest show around. I think the actors from it have been totally typecast because of their amazing performances (McNulty, Clay Davis, Mayor Carcetti, Lieutenant Daniels, Assistant Rawls, etc, etc, etc.).

It still blows my mind that McNulty and Stringer Bell are actually english. When I hear them do interviews in their natural accents I tend to think they're faking it, as they sound 'realer' in The Wire.

Interesting glimpse into the actors' lives on the set of The Wire

In Baltimore, Peters’ house became a kind of groovy bohemian salon for an older set of cast and crew members that included Doman, Jim True-Frost (who played Roland Pryzbylewski), and others. Several ended up renting rooms in the house. Peters, a strict vegetarian, would cook elaborate group meals. There was a piano and impromptu jam sessions fueled by red wine and pot smoke. For those seized by the after-hours impulse to watercolor, there were canvases on easels set up in the basement. Among its habitués, the house was called “the Academy.”

Meanwhile, a rowdier scene existed among the younger cast members—untethered, far from home, and often in need of blowing off steam. This social group was centered on the Block, the stretch of downtown East Baltimore Street populated by a cluster of side-by-side strip clubs (and, in semi-peaceful détente across the street, BPD’s downtown headquarters). The cast of The Wire became legendary visitors to the Block, with a core group including West, Gilliam, Lombardozzi, Pierce, Andre Royo (Bubbles), J.D. Williams (Bodie), and Sonja Sohn (Kima)—holding her own among the boys in one of many on- and off-screen parallels.

That was a solid read. I forgot they did cops vs. gang members Madden tournaments.
