Airheads... not exactly a classic but caught it last night and couldnt help but spot 'cool lester smooth' Freamon.
I find I am spotting The Wire cast members all over the place. Special mention to Omar being in the Housing projects hide out of Jackie Jnr in sopranos S3.

I might be wrong until I discovered Lester is an English actor who's in Edinburgh directing a play with Denise Van Outen. It seems unlikely he has a lookalike as convincing as that given he's actually in town.

Anyone else had their partners made the subject of erotic attention by a Wire star?

Frotted by Tommy Carcetti? Ogled by McNulty? Groped by Stringer Bell?

Anyone?

My girlfreind was nearly ran over trying to photograph Idris Elba in LA at the Rocknrolla premier (over the road from it at least). Shameful shit sure enough..

But surely vehicular assault isnt quite the same thing.

What I'm getting at is the strange pleasure a man gets from having his partner appreciated from someone he admires when, had a wee Ned from Niddrie been eyeing up my "bird" I'd have been raging.

I do know a guy who got into a fist fight with Ian McCulloch,allegedly, after he tried it on with his (my friends) wife.

Any other celeb perving tales?

I was backstage at a Counting Crows gig in New York, they were atrocious so I got pissed up. The gig finished and some of the band joined us for a jar, my girlfriend's mate knew the guitarist I think. The singer, ridiculous individual with white dreads starts to make the moves on the Mrs. C of the time and I invite him outside at his own gig. For some reason I was asked to leave soon after. The Mrs came with me though so screw you, you Joni Mitchell wrecking bastard.

Stuart Graham saw dat John Doman in Brooklyn once.

Stuart Graham thought it was that Gene Hackman at first.

building off Oxford Street a few years ago. The Supermarket Sweep presenter had a definite twinkle in his eye. After I got over the initial shock I felt rather flattered!

'goodfellas' when ray liotta's character takes his kid to hospital late into the film the doctor has a look at him and suggests he runs a few tests-the doctor is played by bunk but is not credited as him

at a TSOOL gig a few years back - my wife comes up to me saying that some small bloke tried to chat her up at the bar.
I checked him out, it was the singer from Razorlight, I left him - he wasn't worth it!

I can tell my McNulty story. I have finished watching series 5 of The Wire literally two nights before. Walking to the bus, on my OWN street, having just scooped a poop from my dog... Who's that cycling up the street (MY street)? It's McNulty! "You're McNulty!" I yell. "Stop!" He does stop, and talks very nicely to me, even though I'm waving a blue bag of dog poo at him. Lovely man. Big face. Great moment.

never happen in Chester...

"I saw Ron 'Dicko' Dixon once" doesn't quite slice the Colmans.

...that it wasn't one of these...

...but some poxy actor!
Damn!

Omar is also the policeman in R.Kelly's "hip-hopera" Trapped In The Closet.
