    Dude that plays Bubbles (2nd best character after Omar) has a story where he was in the middle of shooting and was in character, a proper junkie came up to him and handed him some vials and said ‘you need this more than I do’.

    The show is, apparently, very very realistic and portrays those snippets of street life very accurately.

    It helps where a good chunk of the cast are ex criminals and cops.

        He might be in S4, but the dude that plays the Deacon (helps Cutty) was actually the inspiration for Omar.

        A few of the cops are actual ex cops. Some of Avon’s and Barksdale crews are ex gangsters.

        Few local actors from Baltimore with colourful pasts as well.
