man how Idris Elba never got so much as an Emmy nomination for this role is CRAZY. besides KILLING the american accent, so much of his performance is just subtle body language: at the end of this clip he gives the "drive off" signal with a slight nod, or the scene when he's indirectly telling bodie to kill wallace, hell when he's about to get killed and he gives Mouzone the slight head nod to verify what Omar just told him about Avon. 1st class actor.
Bodie did good, he got himself a good job with FedEx now, I seen him in the commercial where the dude flies across the table to eat the Executive Compensation memo.
I don't know why but at 1.22 and particularly when Mcnulty says, "I'm here about the bodies," I'm reminded of Lee Van Cleef in The Dollars trilogy Spaghetti Westerns.
"Let's understand each other, I'm not Western District. I'm not a narco. I don't dirty people because I don't give a shit about a possession charge. I'm a murder police; I'm here about the bodies."
Kind of interesting. Even the Homicide Division thinks that Narcotics Division is full of shit.
What fucks me up is how easy these Brits change over to American English..Is there an American actor out there..besides Robert Downey Jr, and thats debatable...that can speak fluent 'English' ?....I haven't seen one yet.
Dominic West deserves any award available for this performance.
Two things I noticed about this clip. At first everybody is waiting to see who's gonna talk first and of course D'Angelo weak ass talks first. 2nd, what Bodie says about snitches is foreshadowing about his own demise.
it's awesome how mcnulty didn't respect bodie at all here. once the show progressed mcnulty actually took a liking to bodie. he knew bodie was a really smart kid.
@DANGEROUSKO86 Real talk man. Bodie is one of the best characters. Seasons 2&3 running corners/pit apart of Barksdale crew. Season 4 grinding out his own corners. It's a shame he couldn't survive past Chris, Snoop, and MIchael.
@cche16 how did D'Angelo have heart? He was the most scary coward throughout the entire show. He was a rat, how is that having heart. Please explain

D'Angelo had heart man. I'm still sad over that :( Bodie shines here! The beginning of the Bodie-McNulty relationship.
