Is it just me or does D'Angelo Barksdale...


..look just like Kif from Futurama?👽 Also how come The Wire and another lesser known "hood movie" from the 90's called Straight Outta Brooklyn are the only two things I have ever seen this actor play in?

Well I hate anything to do with the "zombie" genre, so that is probably why I never knew he was in the Walking Dead.
I find it hilarious that you assume that I don't get out much because I have only seen this gentleman in The Wire and Straight Outta Brooklyn.
Clearly I am not always at home in front of my television so I will never be able to catch every show or movie. So I will take that to mean that maybe if I watched more TV I would've known he was in other shows and movies. (It's 2016 and this is my first time ever watching "The Wire" It came out when I was in my last years of high school, so I never got a chance to watch it until now at age 30.)
I really like him as an actor, so that is why I wondered why I never saw the guy in anything else.
Thanks for your reply though.

You know what, you are right! I forgot about that.

He's also in Cecil B Demented, which is a hilarious film. I definitely recommend it.

I always thought he looks like a young Doc Rivers.

I've always wanted to see that movie. Never had the chance to.

He was in Gangs of New York I'm pretty sure

Its too bad there's no way to verify that. I wish somebody would invent an internet movie database where you could check what roles an actor has had. Preferably one without a discussion board because who would possibly want to use something like that to discuss the shows we like.

He also had a decent role in The Walking Dead as Bob.
