Omar

“Omar comin’”. :smiley:

Before The Wire I might have thought of Omar Sharif or Omar Khayam.

Michael K. Williams has a major role in Boardwalk Empire, the new HBO series.

The guy has a magical quality that goes beyond just acting. That court scene where he cuts Levy’s balls off and tosses them back to him is one of my all-time favorites. I’ll definitely check out BE.

I was hoping you’d play along with this thread and had zero doubt you’d be on Little’s team. I wonder how many more to expect. I think there are at least two others from discussions of The Wire who sound at least as into MKW as I am.

We’ll see.

Omar Hakim, jazz fusion drummer supreme.

Minaya. But I’m a passionate Mets fan.

Zeldar, see post #5, :smiley:

Excellent! We saw him live in Murfreesboro (TN) with Dizzy Gillespie not too long before Diz died. I was as impressed with Omar as with any drummer since Joe Morello. If it hadn’t been for Omar Little, I think Omar Hakim would have been my first shot at an answer here.

Panadería Omar, the neighborhood grocery market and bakery in my mom’s town.

Seriously, it wasn’t until I left home and went to college that I realized names like Omar and Yamil were NOT uncommon but perfectly normal Spanish given names.

Of course as soon as I saw the username/thread title, I thought of Omar Little (just didn’t post). I wanted to finish my Noo-Pote first.

There’s also Omar Gooding, Cuba’s brother and fellow thespian.

The rubaiyat of omar khayyam.

The Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam, the famous macguffin from “Rocky and Bullwinkle.”

Omar Moreno – a fast-running but light- hitting centerfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the late 1970s.

My favorite Omar: Vizquel.

Omar Epps.

Ditto, and I only really watched the first season.

I’m just now seeing this post which I missed the first time for the same reason I missed commenting on the posts that came in while I was responding to SkeptiJess. I didn’t check preview to see that yours and the two Sharif posts made my “not mentioned yet” invalid.

I’ll check preview now to see what else I’m saying is wrong! :smiley:

My ex-husband. That’s the ratbastard’s first name. Blech.

My favorite character in The Wire.

Omar Little for me too.

A wizard named Omar, from some story or other.

Omar Sharif.

I had to wiki his career, since I was too young to see any of the movies, but I was always aware of him as being an actor my parents respected.
