Oz Cast being interviewed by David Simon, creator of the Wire, this is beyond life 🔥🔥🔥

[@kevina5337]

Well Simon does owe the show's creators a big thanks, practically every character who got killed off in Oz the actor ended up working on The Wire LoL

[@prayerdesign]

@@kevina5337 I think it's the other way around -- before The Wire, David Simon did Homicide: Life on the Street with Tom Fontana, who went on to do Oz. Sooooo many actors from Oz were on Homicide first.

[@AndThenShwarmaAfter]

i read this list and i remember every single character...great actors who all added something to elevate this show to the cult status it deserves. rip

[@AmaanStorm]

@@AndThenShwarmaAfter honestly some of the best actors (and recogniseable) passed through this show on to other roles in other TV shows/movies. Just the breadth of talent in OZ is incredible.

[@actorblakerobbins]

may they all Rest In Peace

[@AmaanStorm]

@@actorblakerobbins thank you for your comment Blake. You would have worked with a few of these actors over the years. Hope the show was just as amazing to work on as much as it was for us to watch.

[@actorblakerobbins]

@@AmaanStorm the cast and crew on the show was incredible. its why the show you watched was as special as it was. and it started at the very top. it was an amazing experience to be apart of

[@WhatAboutall]

Sopranos gets all the damn credit, but OZ is the show that started the golden era of TV which continues today. The first to kill off it's most known actor at the time, the guy who starred in Selena, in the first season.

[@rustykuntz94]

What About Jon Seda as Ortoloni. It was a shock as they set him up in the pilot as the main character and he gets killed right at the end of that episode. Shocking, he looks almost the same still now, he’s great on Chicago PD on NBC

[@nenabunena]

I've watched sopranos 3x bec i wanted to like it as i love gangster films but i never really got into it like i was into OZ

[@insertusername7141]

First season? Homie dies in the first episode..

[@rampageclover9788]

Oz paved the way for The Sopranos and The Wire so really you can thank it for Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Shield and SOA

J.K.Simmons,Adewale,Meloni and Kirk Acevedo are missing on this Reunion

[@jayjay86443]

Let's see... J.K. is basically Clancy Brown 2, so he's always busy. In 2017, he was Gordon in that Justice League movie. It was a nice year for him. Meloni was busy with Happy, the Syfy show with Patton Oswalt as a cartoon unicorn only he sees. It was a low year for him. Oh yeah, he made a cameo in a DC movie as well. Adewale was busy making his own film, Farming, which contrary to the title, isn't about actual farming, but a dubious adoption process in the UK. I also think his adoptive parents died, so he spent some time mourning. Mixed reception of that year here. Kirk Acevedo was busy with 12 Monkeys and Arrow. Definitely a better year for him.

[@rayfinkle8860]

Oz is such a great show, watched a few episodes of it when it was out, then about 8 years ago binge watched it, now binge watching it again, still so addictive! It has loads of actors from the wire and dexter. Which were both great in my opinion.
