The Wire: Where are they now?
HBO
Mike became the new Omar of The Wire, giving Marlo’s new crew all kinds of problems like Omar gave Avon.
Dook is the new Bubbles, using kindness and math smarts to hustle his daily fix. Carv is still trying to become decent police, like Colvin or his mentor Daniels, who also took some mattress money.
Marlo didn’t take that corner, he punked some young bucks to get his name back not that corner. Marlo had money. He tried to hustle up a new crew and either caught one or got locked up for a time. Small felony, he comes out after a 26-month stretch (Avon’s time) and stays in the game.
Bug is at his aunt’s house, Mike steadily delivering money for school clothes. Slim Charles finally realized he could assume a bigger role in the game and retired years later to a house in the county.

Cutty has developed a few decent fighters and helped a local MMA guy with his striking. This has helped Cutty find purpose and respect, along with some dates with all those moms throwing him lunch plates.
Randy with the candy now owns a small shop for retail of some sort and possibly works as a front for the new Prop Joe character. Randy was a businessman and he was hard after the house fire that hospitalized his foster mother.
