- The Crimson sits down with two cast members from HBO's The Wire, Andre Royo and Jamie Hector, to learn about their experience on the show, thoughts on its educational influence and more.
Man it's so weird seeing Marlo smile and being all emotional and shit.
all emotional and shiiiiiieeet
+J Jo More weird is for me to see Omar in a suit lol
+SamoMalo2 watch Boardwalk Empire
Marlo has long ass arms
Reginald H. Bradley lol true fact I was just thinking about that
Bubbles is one of the most real character in all of television history. Royo did an outstanding job playing Bubbles.
He did.xx
HE NEEDS A BEST PORTRYED CRACKHEAD AWARD
@@mthunzimhlongo660 nocap 😂
Bubbs and Kim got mack together in a movie called "G", which also starred Blair Underwood. The movie was directed by a talented lack director called Chris Cherot.
Love him. Acting outstanding
yooooo he walks like Marlo.
strong I peeped the same thing lmao
strong ...he walks like himself...lol
lmao its crazy, its like jamie hector is pretending to be marlo pretending to be jamie hector pretending to be marlo (insert xzibit gif)
@@CrankLucas Crank lucas in the building! Love ya channel just had to acknowledge ya man
@@CrankLucas insert wee-bey gif
I wish I was in the crowd when the actor who plays Omar walked across the room. I'd be like "Omar coming, yo"
Lmaaaoo that’d be awesome
also if he came in whistling "A Hunting We Will Go" xD

Just finished "The Wire" for the first time 20
Minutes ago. All 5 seasons took me about 2 weeks that's how good it was. I can honestly say after years of Loving the Sopranos as the best show of all time The Wire was rite there with it. Not one slow moment or episode. It's so real and gritty makes u want more and more. I'm actually really sad that's it finished and I'll never watch The Wire again and not know what's going to happen next.
+googzgag
I couldn't agree with you more. Just finished it a few days ago and I'm going through withdrawals. As an aspiring filmmaker I was blown away. I've never seen a show that was so impactful that had as many characters that resonated with me. I'm still living with the show to this day!
Wore-out my 5 Season DVD's…!
it's better the 2nd and 3rd time don't worry.
But you will watch it again. ;)
Took me 4 days
Single most important show ever. You may find other shows more entertaining, but for impact and meaning, nothing comes close.
I don't know if you read this but The sopranos was as important as The wire
@@therealdababycovertible9503 imma have to disagree with you simply because there was too many fictional things about it. Especially the whole therapist thing.
@@dantemariscal8679 without the sopranos there is no breaking bad,Dexter,Hannibal etc
I'm not saying that it was super realistic then go watch The wire
Definitely!
@@therealdababycovertible9503 I think you misunderstand him. He means the wire is important to society. Not entertainment value wise. Otherwise, sopranos is obviously up there
There's so much talent on that show it's scary good.
Seeing Marlo happy and coolin with everybody is weird. Dude was a flat out hell spawn on the show
He was coolin with chris when he was all hyped on atlantic city after getting in with the greeks lol, think that might have been the one time (and his birds)
If you love to hate the character then that's a positive reflection on how well they played it :)
I think that's the mark of an absolute legend actor, when you - you know - get that kind of feeling seeing them as their actual selves. Dude was absolutely ICE COLD on the show and shieeeeet man, if there's any character in any show that was actually scary, this is the guy.
@@gerryn2 not really, chris was scarier than him. even weebay
@dwcLDN how on earth was weebay scarier than Marlo? Please explain
I wish I had one of those memory eraser sticks as in "Men in Black" film, then I could re watch all The Wire seasons.
Same here, brah
I have watched The Wire 4 times already, planning to watch it the 5th time but I still get the same goosebumps. The show is so fucking brilliant, every time you watch it, you discover a new story about someone from the show. Watching it one time is not enough to take in everything the show has to offer.
Ive watched it maybe 8 times or more, other cop shows just seem so cliche and dull,
I take year or 2 off in between watching the entire show and I always see new things. And see it with fresh eyes.
@@matthewseabolt7342 I agree. I seen new things also.
even out of character marlo still a fucn scary ass dude lol
Zain Sardar how so?
Sheeeeeit
I wasnt meant to play the son.
I like him as Jerry Edgar. He reminds me of the character in the book except he's not as lazy
@@BruteStrength99 you mean in bosch right?
"All the pieces matter" THE pinnacle of American Television.
Bubbles and Marlo conversing,.,, "Shit don't seem possible."
Different universe type shit
😂😂😂
Spider man shit
Seeing the dude who played Marlo Stanfield saying “I believe people naturally have good hearts” is extremely jarring
I was never a big fan of Marlo,then I started to really recognize the genius of his character. Wasnt flashy,or loud.But a cool,cold and calculated drug kingpin.Who looked at the game as big business.Unlike Stringer who was similar in the business part.Yet Marlo knew how the game was played,and the ultimate sacrifice you will end up paying is prison or your life.String thought he could go legit,and came close,but the game is bigger than anyone.I love reading the different comments people have on a particular scene.
Good post. I actually couldn't stand Marlo's character. I felt he was one of those slick guy's who won his way to the top by attrition. Remember, he was warring with Marlo's crew before Stringer left that note with Bunny Colvert who turned it over to McNaulty and that was the end of Barksdale's street day's. Had that bust not gone down, Barksdale's Crew was about to light up the entire Stanfield crew because Slim Charles made them and sat on them but they got busted and he watched Marlo's crew escape unscathed.
Marlo got what Stringer always wanted at the end, but he hated it because in his heart he was always a street dude and a thug.
He played Marlo brilliantly. If I see him snoop an Chris in real like I will get uncomfortable.
I took Marlo to be a sort of distillation of previous generations. Avon and Stringer were dreamers. They embraced the tools available to them and played the game, but they were never pure products of that system. Marlo is what you're left with when all innocence and aspiration is gone. He was a living embodiment of the game. Ruthless, driven, and yet purposeless. Purely destructive. In the end he couldn't handle the upward mobility. He needed to be back on that corner, because that's what he was. Avon and Stringer spent their lives trying to get up and out. Marlo didn't want to leave.
Yea I have to say the first time watching I really disliked Marlo but every time I've rewatched I like him more. Still not my favorite but he's a great fucking character. Also I love Snoop and Chris, but Chris especially.
Greatest tv show ever made, and the best ensemble cast too. Andre Royo as Bubbles is probably the best portrayal of a character over the course of series that I've seen. Wish I could have been there.
I think so too. He should have an.Oscar - immediately.xx
The best , most educational, emotional, well-rounded series ever made.
Jamie Hector is as cold as ice in his portrayal of Marlo Stansfield; I'll be keeping an eye out for him in future. RIP Michael K Williams - I'll really miss his work.
Best TV ever made. Thank you David Simon, entire cast, crew and writers - you nailed it. In a 1,000 years, people will still be quoting #TheWire
Not really, they dont quote old movies past Casablanca and gone with the wind no more.
Omar in a suit? Shiiiiiieeet
+SamoMalo2 i ain't no suit wearing businessman like you. i'm just a gangster, i suppose.
and i want my corners.
You'd have thought he'd be taking his grandma to church, or be with Muffy at the club.
clay davis quote? xdxdxd
Anything with a tie!
D.A. hooked him up with another voucher for court clothes
It's good to see bubbles still clean.
I just finished the Wire. I love the cast. The acting. Especially the young actors. I'm glad I got the chance to watch it 15 y after it came out.
its weird to see Marlow smiling and acting friendly
It's weird to see cast from the wire do interviews and things like that because throughout the show they spun the illusion where you really felt like those are their true characters. One of the few shows that can say that. I mean Mr. Jamie Hector might be the nicest person in the world but if you talk to him in person all you will see is Marlow and it will be very hard to talk because you knew what Marlow was capable in the show.
Compelling villains stick in the amygdala. We remember threats. This is why Anthony Hopkins is still Hannibal to many people. It's an ancient adaption. We can't shake fear so easily.
This is the beauty of true acting.
whats crazy isn't just seeing Marlo "out of character" but that he still has those fucking stone-cold killer eyes... No matter how friendly he comes across, your blood will always run cold every time he looks straight into the lens
I thought his gangster walk body language was a an act... But that mofo actually WALK like that in real life haha. holy moly, look at 0:07 to 0:17
Ludo045 gangsta walk? Wtf is a gangsta walk?
He just walks with good posture and looks confident, nothing too specific about that. I also don't see the cold killer eyes thing. Actors who play compelling villains always get fans sticking their characters to them. Anthony Hopkins is still Hannibal to people. Something about the amygdala, people remember threat the best.
I know what you mean. I keep seeing the scene where Chris kills Prop Joe and that cold, emotionless stare he gives Joe's lifeless body.
Right, I couldn't be friends with him. We could be watching a game, eating hot wings, and I'd still be scared of him
I was so happy when Bubbles got clean..if anything at least someone had a happy ending
Me too xx
the wire.....bar far the best series EVER MADE... the best series EVER KNOWN TO MAN.
Shows how little you saw kiddo
"The Wire" one of the best shows on HBO!
The best...
Kenneth D. Aston Jr. Uhhh you mean best show EVER!!!
Lol no. Best hbo show, at best
Exactly. My mom loved the show as well when I watched it with here, she though it's the best show ever, even though it's totally unlike what the would normally watch (she prefer the much more cleverly written and intelligent European shows, yet she prefer the Wire over them. That says a lot about how well it's written).
I think it's the most real and well written show ever, and also puts the finger on a lot of sore spots, which needed to be done by others for a long time now. Like inequality.
If you havent seen andre royo in anything else, go do it. If nothing else, just to understand how insane his transformation into bubbles is. The scenes with bubbles contain some of the best acting Ive ever seen in my life. Especially when hes high or that time hes just sitting in park taking everything in
Great actors played their roles so well
Marlo owned all of the good real estate after the towers were gone. Simple as that. It didn't even matter if he had the best connect or the fiercest crew- his rise to power was more like a title defense than a crowning achievement. He gained power by taking each block 1 corner at a time.
+Tony Starks He had the best real estate and the fiercest crew, so he was untouchable. Up until the cops found the bodies he wasnt getting much attention from them either, which gave him even more power.
Indeed. Marlo's sudden ride made complete sense, i.e. *someone* was always going to be holding the corners the Barksdales couldn't be bothered with whilst they had the towers.
@@davidedwards9097 avon had more then just the towers...he had the whole west side of Baltimore
I probably rewatch all five seasons every couple of years or so.
So happy to see most of these actors that came from the show are giving back to their communities one way or the other.
Yeah its a classic. Omar Little is a character on it and they were saying his character might be one of the best of all time. You would have to have followed it from the very first episode too.
What made The Wire so incredible was how it showed ALL OF THE PIECES. I never considered the number of pieces involved in the community impacts of drug. And because I've started watching it again, for the 3rd time, the stories are even more true today. And that's a strong statement of how ass backwards society is and how important The Wire is.
The Wire, one of the great TV series. Bubbles and Marlo awesome characters
Jamie Hector was Soo good on the wire I seriously can't see him as anyone else but Marlo ...it's almost wierd seeing him here so friendly.
I just finished The Wire last night, and damn if isn't weird seeing these two sit together at a table, all smiling and shit.
Stringer died, Deangelo died, Frank Sobatka died, Lester and McNulty ended up in the unemployment line, Daniels was forced out by politics, Herc was working for a crook, Marlo was free, Omar died..not many of the main characters had a happy ending..oh yea and where is wallace?
popcrnshower but Avon remains the king
Where the fuck is wallace sting?
popcrnshower man, for me the saddest thing was duquan. No one mentions him...
Slim charles got a happy ending!
Marlo walks with no more game, goes back = never get out of prison
it's crazy that this show was never nominated for any emmy awards for acting...i can't wrap my head around it. One of the actors said in an interview that the people responsible for nominating couldnt believe that the people on the wire were actors, but merely gangstas hired to walk around the set.. either the best compliment ever or the biggest slap in the face ever.
this is my favorite show ever. i don't see how people can't at least just watch it and get it. i let my parents borrow it to watch and they are in their 60's and loved it
andre royo always reminds me of gregory hines
The excellence of the writing was just a part everything, the actors exquisite, settings incredible and the camera work and editing amazing.
The last scene in the final episode of Marlo coming down from the "party" he was at with Levi - remember him walking out of the building in his fine brown suit....across the street and confronting the 3 soldiers selling....dealing to them and then the question...did he go back to the street or not!?
Ultimately - the shows question as it finished was - "What has changed!?.
IMHO the very best program made - period! Superlatives don't come close to describing the brilliance of every person involved in producing this!
The inevitable feeling of "nowhere else to go" for Dukie, of Mikes inevitable departure to a certain fate, the Colvin Hampsterdam experiment that was lowering crime, infections and encapsulating the problems in manageable areas but it didn't meet conventional rules, of Marcetti's almost letting Colvin's idea run because of social beeterment but votes counted. Of Omars crusade - who felt bad for the victims of HIS heists? The list goes on and on.
I have not watched another show ever that raises so many social commentaries, make the viewer think about them if they want, then leave raw the characters that you never forget - and it was fiction - based on society and politics now.
absolutely stunningly Brilliant!
The wire is the single greatest filmed art we've created as a species.
I agree with you on this. I come from a single mother, middle class upbringing so I did not grow up poor, but I have met many who have. Those who grow up poor have almost no chance of getting into a Ivy league school. I can't even go to a good graduate school, whether I get in or not, unless I get a scholarship because my family doesn't have that kind of money. Fairness in this country is not 'Communism' (those who call it that are not informed on that political stance), but common sense.
Jamie Hector a Beast on the WIRE💯💯💯💪💪👏👏👏👏
All of the guys on this show are smart and very articulate. Its amazing how they're able to play those hard core roles.
Great idea to correlate the characters from "The Wire" with the current social psychological, economic, political, etc. conditions that occurs in the American culture.
Dude said "Clark Freemon". Funny.
Clark Peters, Lester Freamon, lol. too funny. i can agree with you there.
Damn Marlo got that sexy swag walk. Lol
I could watch these two talk for hours.
Seeing Jamie’s face pisses me off just because of Marlo, no disrespect to Jamie it’s just proof of how amazingly he filled that role.
"People naturally have good hearts". Marlo Stanfield.
'Haven't seen Homeland yet, but Breaking Bad and Curb...are great shows. The Wire was an incredible experience.
Nah BB got boring fast
This TV show should by mandatory to watch in every school (in U.S.)
Such a great Television show, so influential at so many levels. Hope to watch something as relevant soon.
The Wire was the best tv show in HBO history telling the the truth about the ghetto without labeling it with gangs.
It's funny. You see all of these trendy shows on HBO and other networks YET, you never see these young men and women get the true acclaim they deserve. Where are the personal awards from all of this work. We're talking 5 seasons here. Other shows like The Spranos and Boardwalk were hyped and super promoted YET, The Wire can see any of those "series", episode for episode. Who's be honored at the prestigeous Harvard University just like the life of the eccentric and talented Tupac Shakur was being studied at the University of Washington in Seattle and at Univ. of California @ Berkeley. You know where I'm going with this.

IMO The Wire is better than The Sopranos. But still, The Sopranos was almost at par with the show. Frankly, The Wire, Sopranos and Breaking Bad are the best tv shows (more than just that) with The Wire being a little above the other two.
Man I watched 2 and a half episodes of the sapranos and they didn't hook me like breaking bad and the wire
And sons of anarchy
Where was all this acclaim when the Cosby Show came out? Or was that broadcasting the wrong ideological message for the limousine Left?
thats how good the acting is!!! i concur
1:40 Here Andre actually misunderstood what Jamie was referring to He thought Janie was talking avout the scene where String tried to get Slim to drop Clay Davis and Avon walked in and straightened him out. Jamie was actually talking about that balcony scene
Its Crazy How Marlo & Omar Got Them Same Like Scars From Bucks 50 The Life Of Living In New York Especially Living In Brooklyn
Actually nice to see people shaking hands and hugging.
Jamie Hector did such a good job playing Marlo that I don't think I could ever be near him in real life. I'm just straight up terrified of the guy. And he's not even any bigger than me. THAT'S acting!
Binge watched all 5 seasons for the first time last week and I'm already re watching it from the beginning
Bubbles definitely deserves an Emmy or something
Love this show. My favorite one still and they cast this perfectly. I wish it ended a little bit better.
What do you mean, "better" ?
noono19 I don't care for how Marlos character was handled at the end.
Marlo's character at the end was handled perfectly and ended in perfect tune with the series and most importantly with the REAL stories of the real people Marlo was based on.
Relax people. It's just an opinion.
@@freakboy40 out of curiosity, how would you have preferred they finished Marlo’s character arc? I thought it was perfect.
He had done what Stringer was trying to do his whole life. He was in the rooms with the white people, going legit. That final scene of Marlo leaving the party, walking out to the corner and taking it by force, it said everything about who Marlo is in about 10 seconds. He, like Avon, is a gangster. It’s what he knows and what he will always be. The game is the game, and Marlo is a player, period.
It also provided a commentary on the game itself. Marlo had the crown. He was on top. He was the biggest drug supplier in Baltimore, he’d taken out his competition. In short - he had won. But when he walks up to the corner boys (who, incidentally, are talking about Omar, a true street legend whose name actually rang out), they had no idea who Marlo was. The game is the game, but the players will always change. Marlo won, but it didn’t make a lick of difference. At the end of the day, he was a nobody.
Idk, like you, this is just my opinion. Curious to hear yours.
you know a show is amazing when even the dope fiend character is spot on just like our West Baltimore dope heads
My favorite sitcom of all times 💯
Bubbles got clean and Marlo got out the game and went to college lol
If there is one series you can teach an entire college class on, it's definately the Wire
"Either do it or don't but i got somewhere to be" 😄
Thanks for the Memories watching this great Series - 2002 - 2008,Great Characters to remember like Bubbles and Marlo to Clay (Sheeeeeittt) Davis 🤣And The Police Characters played by Dominic West and Clarke Peters along with Wendell Pierce.
Wow the Marlo guy's acting was amazing. On the show he was arrogant, psychopathic and terrifying. Here he's a normal nice guy who even thinks "people have good hearts"!
One more thing Harvard...
*Price of the brick goin' up*
When I saw Jamie Hector I was kinda scared because I always see him as the ruthless coldblooded Marlo. He played scary good.
Marlo went to Harvard and took over their corners.
I saw Omar sitting there getting interviewed and in my mind immediately yelled "OMAR COMIN"
THE BEST SHOW EVER XX
LOVE LOVE LOVE ANDRE ROYO.XX
The Wire = The Best.
Jeeez, Jamie Hector was so convincing in the Wire I just can't look at him among all those people without thinking he's gonna murder one of them at random.
I lost my sense saw Marlo was listening to Bubs. That's how deep the movie rooting in my head
Non-pizza lunch. Heartbreaking.
as if that class could possibly get any better! damn, that would have been awesome.
Dam marlo scar is real
No, that's Michael K. Williams, not Jamie Hector.
this show deserves a class at harvard...
i like how when you click the "show more", it actually shows "more".
Bubbles is wrong, it wasn’t Marlo that made him take off his pants during there first scene together, it was Marlos Lacky.
just bring it back for a 6th Season. Awesome Show and gives HBO a huge Image. Loved it!
Love this show
My two favorite characters from my first time watching The Wire. Still my favorites after my third time watching the whole thing. Completely different end of the spectrums those two characters, one has heart and compassion and the other lacks both.
yoooo OMAR there I mean you must be crazy to not run
GREATEST TELEVISION SHOW OF ALL TIMES.
The part when Avon grabbed Orlando's chin in the club, i almost died man😂😂😂
Good question. I watched this new movie just came to DVD called Red Tails. I didnt have much background on it so I didn't know the actors beforehand. Michael, Wallace, Bubs and Cheese were all in it. It was so hard to watch when the whole time I kept thinking that Michael might kill someone on the spot, Bubs might relapse, Wallace was resurrected from the dead and Cheese was being polite.
Bubbles was my favorite character and will always be........ fav line is senator clay davis....... shiiiiiiiitteee
I LOVE THAT SERIES!
i love jamie hector
The show was awesome. I started watching it as a "meh, lets see what this is about" and ended up watching damn near 6 episodes per day. I went through the whole show quick and was left wanting more :(
Best tv show ive ever had the pleasure of watching.
Thank you.
and cops involved in the case involving a very well know Baltimore kingpin. the show depicts how everyone from the mayor to the cops to the hustlers to the teachers to the junkies are all connected in a web in the community. every character in the ladder of life has a character in the wire and is depicted really well. sometimes the show will spend 30 minutes introducing you to characters and then those characters will pass each other and not know each other. every season their is a new subject
If funny to see Jamie out of the Marlo Character.
