      Now that y'all mentioned it it would make sense that Daniels play Bubbles he played a recovering addict on The Corner and an undercover turned addict on Oz which was both on HBO. Lots of the cops on the Wire was addicts on the corner including Lester. Y'all have to watch The Corner and Oz if y'all haven't.

      Marlo became, The Boogeyman. Nobody wants to think of him, say his name, or even want to acknowledge that he had ever existed.
      Everybody knows Omar, of whom, in kind of a way, reaches legendary status like, Rohin Hood.
      Marlo is not something that you want to find under your bed in the middle of the night, neither have either of his 'Flying Monkeys,' Chris and Snoop, to be peeking at you from inside of your closet in the dark.

    The real Jay Landsman would eventually be cast as Bunny Colvin's partner.
    It's interesting that Jamie Hector read for the part of "Cutty" considering his age. Most likely just seeing how he could handle something heavier, given how little Marlo talks when we first meet him. He would be a difficult character to cast, needing to find the mix between the young players we've been seeing and a whole new type of unspeaking "evil" for lack of a better word.
    Slim Charles will always be a standout, one of the BEST.
    Love how much Meth wanted on the show. He was already in HBO's good graces playing Tug Daniels in an episode of Oz.

    I think the casting choices definitely worked out for the best. I could see Tristan Wilds (Michael) as Randy, and Lance Reddick would have made a decent Bubbles (he played junkies in The Corner and Oz pretty effectively), but most of the others just wouldn't have worked, IMHO.
    And yes, Seth Gilliam would have been a _terrible_ Stringer Bell, 😂

The guys at hbo just make the best TV show ever filmed EVERY time they do a show lol…. I mean deadwood, sopranos, band of brothers, game of thrones, the wire, weeds, curb your enthusiasm, sex and the city & many more😂 it’s crazy man hahah. It lets u know that it wasn’t by chance. These guys are the best of the best. If they can’t make a hit show out of ur script then ur script ain’t good enough😂 these guys r true professionals. It must be so fun working on a production like that, that u know is gonna be a massive hit due to the skill of the crew & actors. Gotta be a cool feeling.
