It's kinda weird...
Looking at his awards recognition on IMDb and not seeing any mention of The Wire - at all. The same unfortunate thing can - of course - be said of the rest of The Wire cast.
And now it's even more weird seeing how well the cast are doing post-The Wire, starring in their own shows and getting all kinds of attention now.
I will never not be upset over how poorly all the awards organizations - from peer groups to critics associations to Hollywood in general - treated The Wire when it was around. It was all so clearly racially motivated.
I get why David Simon doesn't wanna hear about how much people love The Wire.
