[Dorvid Barnas]

Toss up between Omar

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiit its got to be Senator Davis



Then of course there is the thorn in the side that is Lester

It's like a cavalcade of African-American staples from the "Law and Order" franchises.

"Senator Davis" has been on THREE of them a total of ELEVEN TIMES - everything from a dirty cop to a scarily religious serial killer.



I checked - every single one of these actors has been in at least one episode of L&O, and most of them in more than one across multiple series.  Dick Wolf, you really are doing your part to keep people East Coast actors employed, if only hand-to-mouth.

There's a few Wire actors - including Omar and Bodie - in a new series called The Kill Point on Spike.  I don't know much about it but apparently it's getting positive reviews.

  I was watching an episode of L&O and both Omar and Namond were in it.

Just want to say that Omar is the coolest criminal ever on TV. I mean who else can walk around in his robe to pick up some cereal and people go running.

Plus his boyfriend in the last series has some pretty good reading tastes.

Pauly Walnuts is my favorite char... Oh. Wait.

I got to chat with Frankie Faison (Commissioner Burrell) last night, and he's a swell guy.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Frankie Faison is really great - he lives in Montclair and used to teach in the theater department, though I'm sure he wouldn't remember me.

I'll have to go with Omar and Lester on this one.  I also like Stringer Bell and McNulty, though it feels lame admitting that last one.  I'm only on season 2, though.  I don't have cable and I netflix everything.

[Sarah]

Probably Omar and Bubbles, though I had a crush on Stringer Bell and one on McNulty before he reformed.  I'm also very fond of Lester and grew to like Prez in the last couple of seasons.

Oh yeah, I love Bubbles.  As long as I'm uselessly bragging my peripheral connections with actors on the show, I'm actually really good friends with the actress that plays his sister, Eisa Davis.  I know, who cares, but it's always really fun when she makes appearances.
