Hi, this is Chad L. Coleman

I played Dennis Cutty Wise on the HBO series The Wire. And this is Ranker's top five Wire characters
0:13
Rounding out of top five, I would say, Cuddy, for sure. Not because I played the role
0:19
He's emblematic of most guys in the hood. Most guys in the Hub, believe it or not, don't want to do dirt anymore
0:26
They want to change their lives. And the fact that he was able to change his life from real time, I think, does a service to television
0:33
does a service to our community, and it's just walking real-time hope
0:38
Marlo, ice cold, man. Just ruthless. Do it or don't. Just casually put on your jacket
0:47
Kill him, you were killing, kill him, killer. Marlowe was representing the new generation. The birth of whatever you thought I wouldn't do, I will do
0:55
Omar, you hadn't seen this character before, and when you can get street
0:59
in a truly homophobic environment when you can you know bring the noise to the degree where you get the homies to have nothing but mad respect and fear That a hell of a feat A classic hood print

Kind of the last of a dying breeze. There was loyalty there
1:20
There was family there. There was do's and don'ts and ways to go about it
1:25
And I felt like, you know, he'd learned that from the old school and he represented that really well
1:30
There was something honorable about him, even in the dirt. He identified with my character and my integrity
1:39
and he co-signed for me to change. In that environment, in the world that we lived in, by all rights
1:46
he could have said, take him out, and he didn't. So I think that said a lot about who he was, too
1:52
Number one, string of bell, man. I hated the character. I thought he was diabolical, but boy, it is an amazingly layered
2:01
diabolical dude. A dude that had the type of charisma that allowed him to pretty much do anything
2:08
He had no loyalty to anybody but himself, but he seduced us all
2:13
And when you were able to do that, you know, that's a pretty rarefied air
