Dominic West Explains How The Wire Cured His Road Rage

[Elgar]

Hey, McNulty did take Lester's advice and worked on that Brit accent. Good job.

[flameracer]

Half expecting McNulty to make a move on the reporter

[smackinbaits]

Mcnulty having a Brit accent...lol..I can't get used to this...

[mattwell]

He had String and he didn't even know it.

[marshallslade]

Fuckn accent threw me waay off. Like Idris Elba. I'm like fuck, that's Stringer Bell? Charlie Hunam? Fuck that's Jax Teller? These guys are too fucking good with their accents.

[stephaniehenry]

Oh my God I never knew this is what he sounds like in real life outside of the wire. So him and Stringer Bell have a lot in common did not know that

[danjacob]

Remember that scene where McNulty faked a British accent? i thought it was so bad lol turns out he's actually a Brit 😂

[dansorescu]

great actor. love how hr can change his accent.hope to see more of him .

[Rita.B.N]

I've started watching The Wire and had no idea he was British, it's so weird not hearing his American accent!!

[Irishrover]

Great show love how the British and Irish guys made the big roles

[dmurphy]

I wonder if he ever gets really drunk and falls into the McNulty voice

[reinaldochristino]

Can't believe Jimmy McNulty has a British accent...That's acting !!!!

[zpozopw]

Best kisser according to Julianne Moore

[frnk]

''They are cheap" hahahaha

[fffancy]

so shocked when i knew jimmy is actually brit!

[patrickk]

He was fantastic in the lastest season of the crown.

[garrybaldy]

His comment at the end about Brit actors being cheap to hire in America, may sound a joke, but it's actually true.

[cuccamunga]

I thought he was going to say that his road rage was cured because he might have been open-minded to the larger scope of what might be causing traffic rather than direct his anger narrowly at the car in front of him. Sorta like how The Wire's all about considering the larger context :p

[Strahani]

Funny that the video's headline refers to just a sentence or two made pretty much at the end, lol

[danieldelacruz]

Mcnulty will always be mcnulty! I cannot accept his British accent!!!
