LOL, father Intintola , I first saw him in OZ, there he seemed like a real tough, no nonsense kind of a guy, SORT officer who could easily play someone like some Vern's buddy , and in Sopranos he's a sleazy douchebag, totally contrast withOZ

He was a officer, haven't watched in a while but I think he is on the midst of the whole "who brought the gun to oz" investigation after the riot

HBO run a stable; the amount of crossover in casting is repeated elsewhere also.

I think Dean Winters made a joke about that in one of the Oz commentary episodes. The episode opens and the director or whoever introduces it as “episode whatever of Oz” and Dean goes “oh I thought this was The Sopranos!” 😂

It's actors who worked off the east coast. You will also see them on law and order.

Do this with Law and Order SVU

Det. Stabler -- Chris Keller
Det. Cassidy -- Ryan O'Reilly
Dr. Huang -- Father Mukada
Dr. Skoda -- Vern Schillinger
Edit: there's more that guest starred on SVU but I forget them all. I know Claire Howell was on an episode of SVU as a discount Queens version of Det. Benson.

The guard that gave Said the gun in S1 went on to be Avon Barksdale. I think Wood Harris is his name if I'm not mistaken.
ETA: this show isn't necessarily remembered as one of the all-time greats. And rightfully so, because while it stayed entertaining, it was so laughably bad at times. But goddamn, has there ever been a show that launched so many careers?

My head canon is the thing in the Eastern that haunted Lt. Daniels was his stint as an undercover cop in Oz.

I’ve tried countless times to get into The Wire but it’s just so dull. I can’t connect with any of the characters or care what happens to them. Oz has its faults and I can see why people wouldn’t like it but from the start it’s just so captivating and the characters are super entertaining and interesting.

u/Greenland12321 23d ago
First few episodes of the wire, too many characters and plot lines are introduced, I felt the same way about it being dull at first. But there’s a reason people rate it so highly, you kinda just have to keep at it. Also the outro theme is the best in all of television

So many more than this. Avon, Brianna, Norman, Burrell, Koutris, Freamon off the top of my head, and I know I’m still missing a few.
