Does anyone else think DMX would have done a good job playing Omar?


Minus the gay stuff, DMX kind of reminds me of the dude who played Omar. I think he would have been able to play that role well. What do you all think?

IDK for sure but I doubt DMX would have done the gay stuff now that you bring it up. He may have been able to pull it off because of his background but Michael K nailed the role. This question is like, "Who else would make a good Walter White." Its kinda hard to envision someone else in the role.

DMX hasn't ever done a good job.

I agree. Re: the gay stuff that's one of my few gripes with the show because the character Omar is based off wasn't gay at all, completely unnecessary and unrealistic.

Naw he wouldn't have made a better Omar. They picked the right person.
