who had the best acting performances on the wire [ other than Elba...too obvious]

[Stez]

I actually know that nikka. He worked wit me at a grocery store called Shoppers Food Warehouse in D.C. nikka had no experience whatsoever and went to a casting call and they put him on. nikka was the same laid back ass nikka in real life as he was on the show, didn't change a muthafukin thing. Barkyard used to wreck shyt back in the day too and I ain't even a nikka who like gogo

Dope story. Homie came with the COLDEST line ever too.

 

[Reggie]

Gotta go with Omar. I think he was the best overall character on there and Michael Williams acted his ass of in that role.

 

[Lootpack]

@Frank Sabotka

 

[HookersandIceCream]

No one saying Avon Barksdale

Maybe not the best but worth a few mentions

 

[FaTaL]

i know who the worst was, poot or that nikka at the end when cheese got shot

Even the way he was just like "who we hittin? "

People talk about Chris but Charles was a stone cold shooter for real.

Goat killers in that show where Chris, slim, bey, omar, snoop, bird, all ice cold

When he, burrell, and Daniels were in the room talking about the bust in the projects and he went

Daniels - "Oh, we had probable cause for the stop"
Clay - "..heh...erv tell this motherfukker what time it is "

Bubbles
Bunk
Clay Davis
Frank
Daniels - Watch the first few episodes, this is a man under all types of pressure. Dude doesn't even smile. Once.
Bodie
Avon
Wee-Bey
Marlo

 

[TrebleMan]

I personally thought Bodie's character was the best acted imo.

Some of the scenes Bodie wasn't even saying a word and his expressions told a story.

Slim Charles' actor also shut it down.

I'm pretty sure most of them nikkas were old school gangsters in real life

Even the way he was just like "who we hittin? "

Its crazy that he comes off that way...we only see Slim merk like 2 people, tho its implied he's done more. I don't think you can put anyone on the level of Chris Partlow. Whether it was killing Barksdale's....NY nikkas...doing favors for nikkas...smokin nikkas who pissed Marlo off...putting bodies in vacants...goin after Omar...that dude was murdering someone in damn near every episode the last 3 seasons. That dude was a serial killer for reals.
