The Wire

[johnmaff36]

On the subject of british actors in these HBO shows, if anyone has seen the equally brilliant Oz, there are a number of british actors in it. One of the main men,forget the characters name (kareem?) but he was a bad-ass muslim leader and one of the main characters, was a guy called eamonn walker who,unbelievabely, played alf garnetts gay home-help in 'In sickness and in health'

For the Brits it seems like I remember a fair amount of the actors are British are they not?

I know Stringer Bell is. Isn't McNulty Irish or something? I guess that's technically not being British. And Carcetti.

I think mcNulty is from sheffield or the surrounding area

It was hilarious listening to McNulty not be able to do a British accent. The guy who played the big African on Oz is British, but every movie I've ever seen him in except the one with 50 Cent he's played an African.

Thats right mate. Think hes from Stoke Newington in London. Near shit when i read that. He was in Lost too. Your man Kareem or whatever his name was, actually won some big award for playing the first black Hamlet or some other shakespearian character. Was watching 'Ghostbusters' with my kid the other day and again i near shit when i seen Ernie Hudson (the governor)as one of the ghostbusters. There are loads of guys in that 'Oz' that you know and have seen before but cant remember where. Great show mate

Who's Kareem?

[johnmaff36]

Who's Kareem?

i said that i wasnt sure of his name but he was a leader of the black muslims or something like that. He was probably the main prisoner character in the show. a charismatic leader

Oh, I know who you mean. I thought it was so cool why the guy who killed him killed him. He convinced the guy the world was going to end soon and I think tricked him into giving away all his money.
