The Wire in pop culture


I think one of my favorite parts of being addicted to this show is how actors from this show tend to be put together in other mediums of entertainment.

A few examples I have are:

The Super Bowl commercial for the Prius that has the Frank, Nick and Ziggy Sobotka in a car chase (and that's a series of commercials they landed)

Lester and Daniels are in John Wick as people that help him.

Most recently, McNulty and Stringer Bell were cast in Finding Nemo 2 as buddies of some sort.

Can anyone else think of other places they've seen cast members being inserted into other jobs together?

Nicholas Sobotka is Merriman in Den of Thieves. He’s pretty damn awesome as he plays a badass, exmilitary/mercenary, professional bank robber very well in it.

A fun drinking game can be played when watching Bosch: you drink every time a supporting actor appears on screen who wasn't in The Wire.
