Slim Charles freed!
Ralph Anwan Glover, a.k.a. Big G, a.k.a. Genghis, the D.C. go-go star who plays Slim Charles on The Wire, got acquainted with one of the perks of celebrity yesterday--getting away with carrying a gun illegally. This piece has a lot of background on the man behind one of the most intriguing bit parts on TV, including that he's been shot nine times (reason enough for anyone to roll strapped) and that he counts George Pelecanos among his supporters.
There was a segment about Big G in the go-go documentary The Pocket, but he's been a lot less forgettable as Slim Charles, who's well positioned as Stringer Bell's replacement in the Barksdale organization should there be a fourth season of the show.

I follow the Wire and I screened and wrote about the Pocket and somehow I totally missed this Slim Charles connection. You're the man.
