The Wire: Listen Up
Clark Johnson as Gus Haynes and Michael K. Williams as Omar Little
For those playing the home game, allow me to pass along the following:
- Tuesday Terry Gross interviewed Clark Johnson on Fresh Air. Mr. Johnson plays city editor Gus Haynes of the Baltimore Sun this season. He also directed the pilot episode and will direct the finale in a few weeks.
- This was followed Wednesday by her interview with Michaek K. Williams who plays the exponentially awesome Omar Little.
- A couple weeks ago HBO put out The Wire: All the Pieces Matter, a collection of music from the series as well as Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore Tracks From The Wire, a stripped down disc that focuses exclusively on the hip-hop that has come out of the city. The cool kids seem to think the two are a mostly worthy effort.
