The poll will be for the sub-group: **“THE LAW.” **These are characters who are involved with law enforcement side of things. We included ADA Rhonda Pearlman here because it seemed like the best fit for her. Beadie Russel was placed in the Miscellaneous poll as we felt she fit in a few difference places and would be best served there.
======================================
Per the discussion of HBO’s “The Wire” in this thread, as well as the discussion in this threadregarding polling to find out who people’s favorite characters from the show are, here is the first poll of several that Zeldar and I will be posting in the near future.
The idea was to break the entire cast (over 300 people have appeared on the show) by sub-groups based on how they fit into the story. We then we narrowed those groups down a bit by cutting out characters that appeared in under 10 episodes.
Of course, there are many recognizable and unforgettable characters in that under-10 range (Brother Mouzone was only in seven episodes, for example) so we cherry picked the ones that we thought should be included in the poll. We were pretty liberal w/ the choices but if you feel we missed somebody, feel free to post your thoughts in the thread for the group that character belongs to.
We will be allowing EIGHT (8) votes per person for this poll. Once we find the favorites from each group, we’ll create a master poll to determine the final results.
Characters will only be included in a single sub-group each, based on our best judgement as to which groups/storylines their character best fit into.
Lastly, in case your memory is fuzzy (I know mine was when we started working on this) here is a Wiki pagethat will help refresh your memory on who somebody is.
Here are the characters that will be voted on in this poll. Please note that the character’s name appears first, followed by the actor’s name and the number of episodes they appeared in.
