[Big A]

Omar

 

[Connemara]

Omar, McNulty, Bunk and Stringer Bell.

 

[Virginia Dandy]

Brother Mouzone

 

[milosz]

Frank Sobotka, Bodie, Bubbles - I've got a soft spot for the characters always stuck in the middle of the bullshit that defined that "dark corner of the American experiment" known as Bal'mer.

 

[FLMountainMan]

McNulty is a character who I often resemble (and usually not in a good way) and my friends will sometimes say "Man, you went full McNulty last night"

After the obvious - Bodie and Landsman.

Landsman, for being a bit character, really had a lot of depth to him. I remarked to a friend once, seriously, that Landsman was a much more developed character after five seasons as a bit part on the Wire than Ross Geller in ten seasons starring on Friends. I loved Landsman's poetic side and the way he balanced the necessary sucking up to Rawls with being a good police.

 

[Joffrey]

Snoop, Avon, Carcetti, Michael, Slim, Bodie, Chris...Many more.

[limping_decorum]

[jpeirpont]

Stringer and the Muslim Brother.

 

[Spatlese]

Omar, Stringer Bell and McNulty. And as an aside I really like Callie Thorne (played McNulty's ex).

Omar/Bodie/Bunk

 

[DeCaloFashion1]

How about Proposition Joe?

Weebay might be the toughest from the Barksdale crew.

 

[FlyingLotus]

Cmar for sure

second Daniels - hes pretty badass

 

[Ambulance Chaser]

Obama's favorite character is the safe choice, Omar. He (Obama) reminds me of Lieutenant Daniels.

Am I the only one who likes Lester?
