I did know he was a Brit, because of that dumb article I linked to a while back which was all about how black British actors could only find decent jobs in the US omg RACISM. And I pointed out yeah, but McNulty is also played by a Brit... I did not, however, know that he had been in Family Affairs! Going up in the world or what?
Part of me wished that Omar hadn't even been shot that once, because I like the idea of this otherwise ultra-realistic show having one character who's just untouchable through pure luck and charisma. I would quite like an Omar 'All in the game' icon except that I fear people who didn't watch The Wire would get the wrong idea and think I was identifying with a bad rapper or sthg.
