The Corner - The Real Fran, DeAndre, Tyreeka and Blue!

[robertmurray7782]

I've read the book and seen the series, both excellent. I am curious how some of the younger guys turned out, the CMB crew, if they managed to break away.

[BallsJohnson1972]

@whatfriut, c'mon son, try a little harder. He was Lamar, Brother Mouzoune boy.

[whatfruit]

Pop quiz. Which character in The Wire did deandre play in the wire?

[gt2e]

@whatfruit fuck off you cunt

[paraNORMLHaruko]

This really is what it was like in Bmore in the 90's,but it's alot worse now. I'm thankful for being clean for 15 years & I know if I can do it,so can others addicted to dope. Keep ya heads up & as cheesy as it sounds,try to believe hons <3

Glad Fran and DeAndre are doing good ..Got nothing but Love for them ...Smile Yup I grew up in the same area as they did ..

[NaturalElicia]

the real Blue looks like the guy that played Super Fly's buddy

[tonioincolumbus]

To all who wonder how Fran Boyd Andrews is doing, she is doing great! Her and her new husband Donnie andrews have an organization called 'Why Murder?' Go to aol search engine and type: 'why murder donnie andrews 'or message me on youtube for the actual website. youtube wont let me post the website on here. on their website they have an address where to make donations. what a blessing to see people delivered from the streets and kind enough to go back and reach out!!! God bless you Fran Boyd!

[101iamlegend]

[copsondonuts]

oh fuck baltimore, i dont feel sorry for their ghetto asses. they can rot for all i care. grow the fuck up already and get real. its 2011 and these idiots are still dealin dope and stressing lol losers to the max. pittsburgh owns baltimore.

[Itzsfo0]

@copsondonuts LOL pittsburg (who the hell mentions pittsburg) plus who cares what the fuck year it is 2011, or 2020 - its dope - whether its in a city enviroment (which its in EVERY city enviroment even cruddy-ass pittsburgh) or if its in a upper-mid-class suburban neighborhood reguardless people sell it to make money, aside from the inmoral, and legal issues its still a money maker as well as coke/rock - its common fucking sense it will never really go away the city of choice is pointless

[Itzsfo0]

@copsondonuts but ghetto ? you got ghetto everywhere dumbass even (again) cruddy-ass pissburgh oops pittsburgh lol who the fuck cares about pittsburgh by the way ? you see developers/directors in line running to make a show about pittsburgh (oh yea fat danny devito and its always sunny in philadelphia) is the closest your gonna get LOL - seriously though whats on the agenda for pittsburgh ? whats so "COOL" about that city ? its just another no-name city with people trying to "rep" it...lol joke

[Itzsfo0]

@copsondonuts lol "losers to the max" sounds like some corny high-school white boy with a sideways hat and a gym-bag acting hard he just got done sweating up a 40-minute workout with his jock-buddies LOL "YEA YO, LETS GO EAT AND THROW FIREWORKS AND HAVE A BEAST OF A TIME" i can just imagine some corny ass whitekid from PA trying to rep a no-name city that hasn't got any play (no HBO miniseries, or a book or documentaries about it reguardless of the content negative or not) lol go jerk off on a

[Itzsfo0]

@copsondonuts workbench in pissburgh you sad fuck - no one cares about that city, or hell for that matter that state (its so much larger then maryland, yet its known for nothing) your professional sports teams are horrible by the way LOL

[CassiusAli3000]

@mfed84 the wire is a spin off of this....

[jpom29]

Khandi Alexander as Fran Boyd. Maybe the single best performance I've seen from any actress or actor for that matter.

[queenbmore09]

[ma2183]

[11SecondClubSept]

Khandi Alexander

[wishmart]

dandre played lamar on the wire brother mouzones muscle

[kasponya]

I just watched all 6 episodes marathon style on HBO and I was touched and blown away! I wonder What happened to the surviving real life characters in the last 10 years: Fran, Blue, DeAndre, Tyreeka - are they alive and well? This clip shows them in 2000, a lot can happen in 10 years.......

[gamagan1]

@kasponya i would like to know myself fran was still in recovery working at a rehab for women. im gonna google it]

gamagan1

[kasponya]

Hi gamagan1, somebody wrote me some news about Fran Boyd saying that she's currently trying to start 'Frans House Of Joy', an outreach to drug addicts. Blue passed last year i think in november of 2009. - Kaspar Galli

[gamagan1]

rip blue but for fran keep reaching out. i have 7yrs clean so i definitly can identify with the documentary, gary reminds me of my day.rip dad and mom

gamagan1

[dwoodall8979]

@kasponya I can't believe 2000 was 10 years ago. That means it will be 2020 in no time.

[Errianno]

@kasponya I heard somewhere that the writers were making a movie about the relationship between Fran and some stick up kid.

[kasponya]

@Errianno I would be very interested in watching that - please let me know if you have more info.... thanks, Kaspar

[BlackMoonLilith]

@kasponya Both Fran and DeAndre played minor characters on The Wire, DeAndre playing Brother Mouzone's comedic sidekick Lamar and Fran playing the nurse who tests Bubbles for HIV/AIDS.

[kasponya]

@BlackMoonLilith Thanks for the info! I've never watched The Wire, but it' good to hear that they got those parts! Best, Kaspar
