Fantastic ending to that episode.

Curious question; would this be considered a made for TV ‘The Wire’? Obviously I haven’t seen it, but David Simon, Baltimore etc. make it seem comparable.
Homicide preceded The Wire and yes they are fruits from the same tree.
And between Homicide and The Wire was The Corner (both book and HBO series).

Joey Meyer, at 74.
I’m sorry for him and for his family and ex-players.
I’m sorry for me that he was 74.
Especially since Ray Meyer, the guy I identify with, had to be 20+ years older.
This is a bad one.
Such an amazing and versatile actor.

Bummer. Just yesterday, I was thinking about him and his wonderful performance in, In the Bedroom.

He was nominated for an Oscar for that, as he was for Michael Clayton. My favorite role of his is still Mr. Fennyman in Shakespeare in Love.

Hate to hear that. Loved watching Starsky and Hutch. Also thought he did well on Magnum Force.
