Just how many people does HBO reuse? I mean holy shit.

I think I've counted at least 15 people in Oz that were later on The Wire; a lot huge roles on The Wire.

give some examples please, this is somewhat relevant to my interests

cause I certainly don't remember seeing Schillenger in line for dope at the towers

but its quite possible that Little Kev might've been "lunchtable inmate #7" in season 2

Blackdog may be on to something here


McNulty got raped by Rick Fox in Season 4

Beecher blew Stringer Bell in Season 2

Herc took it up the ass from Adebisi in the Series Finale

Here are a few by their "The Wire" names:

Lt. Daniels
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk
Sgt. Ellis Carver
Det. Lester Freamon
Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell
Preston Broadus
Avon Barksdale
Norman Wilson

you can see the actor by searching the name above here:

Nobody complains when Scorcese re-uses Leo in every fucking movie. Get over it.

8/16/2010 8:15:17 PM

who in here is complaining? I just found it interesting.

This might be the most sensible BlackDog thread I've ever seen.

"Det. Lester Freamon"

haha he was probably being raped in the shower while calmly building a wooden model that he would sell for 75 boxes of cigarettes

i should probably go back and re-watch Oz, but i generally try not to plan on watching a show thats likely to have full front male nudity at any given time

8/16/2010 8:23:16 PM

also:

Method Man
Brianna Barksdale

I'll look for more later, too many people on The Wire; guess I should search the other way around.

8/16/2010 8:28:58 PM

my question is if they were never on Oz would they have been on The Wire?

8/16/2010 9:05:55 PM

Avon Barksdale - superb Strong Safety for TC Williams, Baltimore's top Trafico Narcanté

they've been doing this for years, using the same actors in different series

8/16/2010 9:43:08 PM

Treme = the Wire, part 7.

8/16/2010 9:43:32 PM

OH SHIT


Frank Sobotka's in True Blood.

8/16/2010 9:58:36 PM

pretty well known that HBO reuses a LOT of people from actors to directors to writers etc.

8/16/2010 10:15:35 PM

what do you mean "reuse"?

actors are allowed to play multiple roles

I mean shit

Garret Dillahunt played TWO roles on Deadwood

Jack McCall and later Francis Wolcott

haven't watched the wire, yet, but i don't think it could have as many Oz actors as L&O SVU has had
