Whoever played bubbles had the absolute best character development I’ve ever seen. No one portrays pain, struggle and resilience like he did. Even his silent scenes touched you.

[Poloman]

Proposition Joe was extremely underrated

[lennon]

Interviewer: I got some questions for you

Idris Elba: well get on with it

[pouihurmen]

Dude who played Bunny Colvin is extremely underrated imo

[KartikeyaDutta]

The Wire is the best show in television history.

[bucky]

I'm a simple man. I see a video about the Wire, I watch.

[CharleyCarey]

Everyone on The Wire killed it. Such great characters. Bubbles, Omar, Stringer, Avon, Bodie

[cl]

Not just saying this because of the unfortunate death, but Michael K. Williams as Omar is masterful. In my mind the best

[mkdisciple]

Frank Sobatka was amazing. He for me had some of the most memorable performances.

[jonathannagel]

I’m from Baltimore, and it still blows my mind that he and McNulty’s natural voices aren’t American

[lijstthuispiano]

Dominique West should be given an oscar for acting drunk. Every actor should take notes imo, it was so realistic.

[XxxX-wxer]

Wee-Bey was always so believable, "thinking is what you wasn't doing and now we look like bitches, you feel me?"

[colinrenteria]

so he didn't talk about the best actor in the wire. he said everybody was good and didn't give a nod to anybody. clickbait bullshit.

[timj]

“ Yo you takin notes on a criminal conspiracy?”

[p.w.]

I believe the person who picked the cast deserves an Emmy!!
It's BRILLIANT to so accurately choose these characters! They each fit their role to a 'T'!!
Great show!
Rest easy in Power, Michael K. (Omar) Williams!!💐🙏🏾💯

Essentially impossible to name a best actor in The Wire. They are all so crazy good. The Stringer Bell character is one of the great characters in television history.

"Are you the best actor to come out of the wire"?.
What kind of question is that to publicly ask someone?

[blujay]

I was watching a 'making of' documentary type show and some of the actors were remarking how little love the Emmys had for The Wire and a few said that they thought that Andre Royo (Bubbles) was the member of their cast most deserving of acclaim. I got the feeling that sentiment was shared by a lot of people involved in the making of this wonderful show.

Method Man was HIGHLY UNDERRATED in The Wire. It never even registered as Method Man playing Cheese…He was just Cheese…

[chriskwon]

The guy who played Rawls was an awesome actor.
