Most people probably recognized Anwan Glover from The Wire when he appeared on Treme as the OPP inmate who took Daymo “under my wing.” But since I just started The Wire season three in Cox OnDemand, I actually recognized Slim Charles in The Wire from Treme.
Either way, he’s got a pretty amazing screen presence. I said as much to Romy after his episode ended. I would try and describe his voice but the writer of this Q&A does it for me, “deep and rough, battle-worn.” The voice goes with the acting. I couldn’t help but worry about Daymo after his encounter.
It’s unlikely he will be a regular character on Treme. I’m not sure I even want to see his character again actually. ‘Cause that MFer was SCARY. Credit that to the actor. It would be cool to see Anwar Glover again.
He was good in The Wire. I liked the scene where Stringer Bell tries to recruit his character to take out a state Senator. Here’s Glover in BYB in 1991:
