Because I watch too much TV and am watching preseason football on a Friday night, here’s a list of places you may have seen the characters from the best TV show of the new millennium, The Wire (The Sopranos started in ’99, making it arguably the best show of the last millennium).
- Lt. Daniels: that weird Cadillac commercial and some new show with an ad that features a Golden Spiral.*
- Prez: the Burger King ad with Diddy (talk about two guys solidly past their primes).
- Felicia “Snoop” Pearson: in jail. Whoops, maybe you should show up in court.
Did I miss anyone? Let me know.
* Apparently, Daniels/Lance Reddick’s new show is called Fringe, is by J.J. Abrams of Lost and Alias fame, and will be “a cross between The X-Files, Altered States and The Twilight Zone.” The pilot episode was screened at this year’s Comic-con, and has earned mostly positive reviews (a bunch are collected here). I’d say that’s worth a couple weeks’ viewing.

Stringer Bell has been in pretty much every low budget African American-targeted comedy/drama in the last year.
