Is The Kill Point a rest home for former stars of The Wire?

If you’ve been watching Bravo’s highly implausible but fun new heist drama The Kill Point, you may, like us, have found yourself playing Who’s That Corner Boy? on several occasions.

Two episodes in, and we’ve already spotted three faces from The Wire. With the fifth and, sadly, final season of that particular series yet to hit our screens, we can’t help feeling it just doesn’t seem right to have them playing away from the projects…

War veteran turned heister Mr Cat (second from right, played by J D Williams) was last seen face-down on a Baltimore corner as ’Bodie’ Broadus, after being capped by crimelord Marlo’s henchmen.

Leo Fitzpatrick, who played Bubbles’ doomed drug buddy Johnny Weeks, is Mr Cat’s colleague Mr Mouse (second left – and, yes, there is a Reservoir Dogs theme developing here).

And finally, and most shocking, Omar Little (Michael K Williams), Baltimore’s finest stick-up artist, is rigged out in full SWAT uniform as ‘Q’, fighting for the good guys! Omar would turn in his grave.
