Behind The Wire, 20 years on: 'The story about Dominic's audition is hilarious'

‘The story about Dom’s [West] audition is hilarious' Metro spoke to the director and actor Clark Johnson on the 20th anniversary of The Wire.

The late Michael K Williams’ portrayal Omar Little remains a groundbreaking masterpiece and Dominic have come a long way since The Wire, however, Clark couldn’t help but jokingly reminisce about one star’s ‘hysterical’ audition.‘It was so awkward and I didn’t know his work as an actor. The head of HBO at the time was like, “you’ve got to look at this guy’s VHS tape.”

Superfan Bibianna, 25, branded the show ‘an ode to societal intelligence’ and revisits all five seasons regularly. ‘It’s definitely a homage to real life, as it explicitly explains that it doesn’t matter how you play the game, you can get f****d at any point.’‘We wanted to, and we still want to illustrate that you don’t put your knee on the neck of a guy just because he’s Black or wearing a hoodie’ ‘It’s so brilliant and it goes by like a flash, and you just want to rewatch and rewatch.

The Wire’s pilot episode, The Target, aired on June 2, 2002, and Clark revealed that the reason why the series resonates is because it took place before the 9/11 attacks.
