My former CO is famous (kind of).

[samaritan1975]

He played an officer in either (or both) the 2nd and 3rd seasons of 'The Wire':



He's in the background, playing Officer Anthony Colicchio; apparently he also played in Homicide: Life On the Street.

Last I heard he had gone back to Iraq recently as part of the 5th CAG (Civil Affairs Group), and was wounded by an IED. I can't confirm his injuries, but that's at least twice he's gone back.

Just always found it... interesting... knowing our CO was an actor. I can't recall if I mentioned it here before, and a cursory search doesn't seem to tell me I have.

Do you know when season 6 starts? The wire is in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.

I don't actually- I don't really follow The Wire, I just know of the show. :)

The closest I have is that I did stage work with and had a couple of classes with this guy: Charlie Day (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0206359/).

I'm glad someone knows him. :-) He's never been in anything I would watch regularly so I haven't bothered. To me, he's just "Chuck", one of those guys you exchange a few words with because you have a few things in common.. but you're not tight with. Ya know?
