How old were you when you found out Stringer Bell wasn’t from Baltimore?

[Paper Boi]

after i watched the wire

[Kornball The Conqueror]

what about prop joe

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Although I knew before I watched The Wire, he did okay. He had some slip ups though.

This scene right here was atrocious though. A lot of Brit actors struggle when their character has to yell and/or show a lot of emotion.

To be fair Baltimoreans be wanting to sound British so bad

I was more shocked when an actor was from Baltimore like Snoop

I knew that from the beginning. Avon, Wee Bay, Bodie, Deangelo ALL sounded like they were from NY

I didn't know Stringer was British, but I DEFINITELY knew he wasn't from no damn Baltimore....

Shout out to Michael K Williams though. He was the only non-Baltimore native that actually tried

Same, Michael K Williams could have been from Baltimore to me. Everyone else was clearly actors to me. Snoop was the only one I thought was from Baltimore

Idris acted his ass off on the show tho...

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Partlow is from D.C.

 

[I love Latina women]

sometime after the wire, when i saw Luther!

 

[3rdWorld]

They should have just made him a British transplant and called it a day..

I was 18. I didn't have cable in my new apartment yet so all I had to watch was local channels and the regional PBS affiliate. I was unpacking boxes so I put on PBS for some background noise. Then I see this mf on my screen in an interview sounding like tea and crumpets. I stopped in my tracks and sat on the edge of my bed in pure confusion for like 7 minutes straight because what the fukk?? I didn't think he was from Baltimore but I knew for a fact that nikka was American.

This reminds me of in Dumb & Dumber when Lloyd says that Mary will invite them in for tea and strumpets.

It’s a joke I feel that nobody actually picks up on.

It’s supposed to be tea and crumpets. Not strumpets.

A strumpet is a prostitute.
