I know people are talking about casting Mouzone better, but I don't think they could have. The Wire is a literary masterpiece, and Mouzone is actually perfectly cast and acted. He comes off as fake. Fake education. Fake mannerism. He greets the officer here kindly. That's the point. What you see is fake. What he is in reality is no different from Omar or Chris in this show. He's a cold-blooded street-hustling killer. But the veneer is a skin, like a mask. The officer in this scene doesn't check him for a gun, but he's almost certainly carrying one. He looks like a lawyer or a social worker, but he isn't. Even Cheese in the upcoming scene where he scares his crew off doesn't take him seriously. He doesn't see, and it might be possible that even Mouzone doesn't see, that Mouzone is a monster. He is, and he acts, exactly like he should. He's a thin veneer of education, manner, and eloquence over a cold-blooded hitman. And he sounds like it.

[@mikem591]

+Veian Demontrond Agreed. Mouzone was PERFECTLY CAST. The contradiction of that 'clean cut' look with who he really was, worked perfectly. Another symbol of the genius of the Wire.

[@bigdee11000]

+Pappy Tron Yeah, that BEAN-PIE look is an excellent cover for a hit-man...who would think he's a consummate professional killer...goes to show you that everyone isn't what they appear to be!!!!!

[@itsmob4life]

His character doesn't come off fake. Mouzone is a play on the NOI (Nation Of Islam). In black society they have always been known to be very educated, disciplined, and potentially dangerous. The real NOI have been known to save the life of rappers and were hired to protect Johnnie Cochran during the OJ case because of death threats. Even Cheese says "You in the Nation?" and makes a joke about bean pies (NOI are known to be on corners selling their newspaper and bean pies). It's just Cheese character is a damn fool and didn't want to be punked in front of his friends like a lot of young guys in the street.

Stringer should have never been dealing with Prop Joe on the low while Avon was down. Stringer was the dirtiest of all people on the show, yet at the same time one of the most beloved. I don't get it. He snitched on his partner, tried to have a Senator killed, tried to have Avon's help killed, executed deals behind Avon's back, Had Avon's nephew killed, slept with the nephews baby momma... Stringer was an asshole.

[@BigBadassR]

I agree. And white critics who haven't been closer to a black guy than at a basketball game totally fall for his smart drug dealer act. Cant believe how often ive read that the guy would be CEO of fortune 500 company if he had grown up different. Pffft...he cant even run a drug operation. He fucked up the Barksdale operation time and time again. He couldn't even see that Orlando's money had to be FED money. Tell you what, that's an amateur mistake right there. As was fucking with McNulty at the trial...which got the entire ball rolling...until then the cops didn't pay any attention to the Barksdales at all.

Nah man. This is Avons fault. They are weak on muscle and have no product. Stringer says they get the best dope if they share the towers. There’s a truce so no need for muscle. With better dope they are making more money out the towers even with sharing. Avon had too much pride to see the big picture. What stringer did was genius. Who needs bodies which is what causes the police involvement when you can just stack that paper.

Arjun Varadarajan, Just like D’Angelo said this can b done a better way.

[@eddieguererro46]

For those criticizing Brother Muzone's casting, i give 2 real life examples to curb your underestimations. 1. Pablo Escobar's first head of hitmen (literally leading an army of hitters) was a man nicknamed "Pinina". Pinina was a very short, skinny, none threatening man who looked unopposing and as none threatning as possible. In reality, the man had +100 murders on his name, to the point Escobar deemed him efficient enough to train his adult and child killers (which rule many Medellin areas today). 2. One of La Eme's (Mexican Mafia) founding members a most ruthless and legendary man, was called "Cheyenne". Cheyenne was an incredibly short, thin and none threatning man. That being said, when a still up and coming Cheyenne first stepped into San Quentin (max prison in L.A.), he was greeted by a supposed big, tall and burly black man who proceeded to plant a kiss on Cheyenne's face and call him "his bitch". Cheyenne walked off. An hour later, Cheyenne walked back out on the yard and proceeded to stab said inmate to death with a shank he had somehow procured or fashioned inside, intent on showing he was nobodies bitch. The man went on to become one of the most influential members to ever enter a prison. In short, stop believing a powerful, professional and effective killer has to be some Jason Bourne, Mike Tyson, Jack Reacher, Rambo, John Wick looking Motherfucker. A killer just needs to be good at his name's implication, killing. And it doesnt take the biggest muscles or the scariest face to kill.

The funny thing is that there are people like brother muzone that are real. I didn't even know the criticism till last week.

people obviously don't know enough about the N.O.I because he's a textbook stereotype really.

[@jeandomeniconagereitano7016]

Right on point, a killer has to be focused on killing, nothing else, nothing more. On the outside, you just got to be able to use a gun (no muscles or size needed it for that), on the inside, odds are that if you're going to kill someone, you'll go with a knife and from behind. And to be perfectly honest, killing is easier than to subdue somebody (Neck and eyes).

[@mkn.567]

being a killer is mindset. It's basically being a sociopath - no feelings, no remorse, no second thoughts. If you're told to kill a dude, you don't need an explanation, time to prepare, you just walk over and stab/shoot him in the neck. Sometimes big dudes have that. Often they don't. They don't need to because they're big. Through out their lives their size has been enough to get them respect. Big dudes are usually just muscle. Yeah, some big dudes put in work and get their hands dirty. But little dudes, have to earn it. Talk to guys who've done time. Often it's the small dudes who are the craziest, not because of what you see on the outside but what you see in the mofos eyes.

Brother is somebody who actually has training

[@Capcoor]

They say there was a guy who trained the FOI when Malcolm was around. This guy supposedly told an FOI member to drive at him full speed, and the last instant before the Sensei was hit he jumped up, did a somersault, and LANDED ON THE HOOD FEET FIRST POINTING A GUN AT THE DRIVER. Bad-ass! "Are you going to teach them martial arts?" "No. I'm going to teach them death." Sensei

Brother Mouzone was a cobra ready to strike whoever made too many moves that didn't agree with him. Fans will argue that he's overpowered but I feel he leveled the playing field and held death over those who would usually be considered safe and comfortable.

String...."What I tell you about playing those away games.." - Avon

[@HassanDhalla1]

"That nigga's got more bodies on him than a chinese cemetery." It's witty dialogue like this that makes The Wire so fun to watch. Also, Prop Joe meet up with Clay recently? that "shieeeeet" lol

[@watcherwatcher9717]

Just because a man speaks understandable english,is intelligent,dresses like a grown man should, does not make him a soft target.many so called gangsters thugs etc. Have made this fatal mistake...semper fi for those that know and recognize

Brother Mouzzoune never made it to the list of suspects

[@gabrieldiangelo181]

I think is because he looked harmless, nobody suspected anything.

[@jasminehill6312]

He never did!! That's probably how he got away with so much.

[@gerarpope6581]

He was never on the Crime Unit's radar. Bubbles mentioned him to Kima and McNulty in season two as a "Bowtie wearing" dude that chased Cheese away from the towers. The Crime Unit had no idea. Luckily for Mouzone, he was from New York and there were no pictures taken of him for Bubbles to identify or put that classic red brim hat on. To sum it all up in one phrase, "no one else had a clue." Except maybe Vincent from the Rim shop.

[@10thmountainmax70]

really glad I caught this the 1st time around back in the day. Missed the last season at the time though due to moving/kids/pick a reason but thanks to the modern age, I rewatched & then finished watching one of my favs of all time.

[@KnockSquared]

Brother Mouzone !! LOL.. When Stringer found out it was Brother mouzone it looks like he is about to say "Sheeet Negro... thats all you had to say" Like Jules (Sam Jackson) did in Pulp Fiction when he found out Marcellus was sending in The Wolf

jay love isn’t it funny how you say that “a calm looking, educated man” who is black is such an abnormal, odd thing to see? That should tell the black community something...get it together

[@mariahyohannes]

InDatParish it’s not an odd thing to see an educated black man. It’s only odd for people have been raised in the hood their whole life to see anyone who is educated. There a lot of educated black men, it’s not out of the ordinary.

I would have loved a prequel for Brother Mouzone like they did with Omar, Prop Joe, McNulty/Bunk. I know he's not a main character like those names but it still would have been interesting to see how he got such a reputation.

Stringer was kinda better buddies with Prop Joe than he was with Avon by this point

I love that look and sequence at 0:50 hes got a look like he has serious problems then he goes to prop joe. Prop joe may seem nice and respectable on the surface so it may be easy to approach him with problems but that nigga is the last dude to go to. He only cares about himself and is very slippery. The type to tell you he'll save you for a price, set the details, take your money, then go sell you out to the dude looking for you for a price.
