Homicide: Luther Mahoney

[roonaldinio1]

Three dooog, AWOOO

[pvthitch]

Meldrick rules! The best cop on the best cop show.

Murder police!

[Z1000Jeff]

The sneering Luthor Mahoney is IMHO the best TV villain of the all.

[Z1000Jeff]

The sneering Luthor Mahoney is IMHO the best TV vallain of them all.

[AMC2283]

You're on my corner.

[artytoons]

Holmes had Moriarty. Dick Tracy had Flattop. Batman had The Joker.

Homicide had Luther Mahoney.

[Sooner74112]

Clark Johnson was just magic on that show, I understand he's a director now. And the writing was just superb. A shame people didn't watch this as much as NYPD, which was just style over substance in my opinion.

[spirittammyk]

How tall is Clark Johnson?. Celebrity heights has everybody's height except his, and comparing him to Reed Diamond (6'1"), Andre Braugher(6') and Kyle Secore (6'4), he's what, 6'2"? Either way, I'm surprised at how tall the LOTS guys really were, very few stood under 6'.

[DMA19681]

Coolest TV bad guy of all time!

[kentamitchell]

Luther Mahoney was an AWESOME villian.

For anyone who appreciates irony:

Erik Todd DEllums dad is US Congressman Ron Dellums.

2. Another of Rep. Dellums' sons has spent over 30 years in prison for murder. He shot a man to death over a bag of marijuana.

[krekavesa]

Pls give me an link when Luther Mahoney get killed. Please.

[easilyjaded2]

Go to my videos section. It's there...though I don't think it has sound. I'll try uploading a new one with sound soon though I'm afraid my account would get booted!

[h100spfld]

Warner's not as asinine as they were a year or so ago... probably wouldn't be blocked this time around.

[CaptainAmerica1962]

Erik Todd Dellums ROCKS!!

[outlawwolf621]

I agree Luther is aone of the coolest bad guys you like to root for.I know i do

[spenzalii]

One of the coldest scenes on one of the coldest shows ever to hit the screen. Love it!

[chuckeet66]

Todd Dellums is among several from Homicide who later worked on The Wire. He was a medical examiner.

[kali00destroyer]

That's it, I'm being Luther Mahoney for Halloween next year. Best TV villain ever.

[Snowfalls12]

Man, this is such a great scene.

[vlunney]

too bad if a cop does that now he gets sued.

[tanquantwal]

I used to love watching this after TGIF eating a big bowl of Breyers ice cream. Miss the 90s.

[marbleflat]

Yep, great scene from a groundbreaking show. I always did like Luther as an epic bad mother.

Game-fans should note that Erik Todd Dellums (Luther) is the voice of the hipster DJ Three Dog in Fallout 3, and he does a damn good job in that role too.

[atoya95]

luther mahoney was my favorite villian on this show...

[nenadsuperzmaj]

Great show, great scene. Now I wish I had the whole show on DVDs...

[bluemoon95]

Great scene. I wish I would have watch this show on NBC in the 90's instead of NYPD Blue.

[charlieladder]

One of Clark Johnson's finest moments in the series. And one of those great scenes that make you despise the charismatic snake that is Luther Mahoney (great work by Todd Dullums).

[Katey3ngland]

Ahh, good stuff. I remember replaying over and over the scene when Luther gets owned by Mikey. Best scene ever! I cry with happiness every time I see it. Mike totally burned him too.

Mahoney: Watcha gonna do, detective? Read me my rights?

Mike: You have the right to remain silent *shoot*

[solord]

Man, what a great television show Homicide was.

[vanessamjeff]

that one dude has GOT to be related to Makiah pfifer (I don't know how to spell that dudes name, but you know who I'm talking about.) they look TOO much alike.

[easilyjaded2]

It is Mekhai Phiefer (sp?).

[vanessamjeff]

Oh, I thought it was like when I saw Barber Shop for the first time and I was like "that dude looks like Lorenz Tate" and then it turned out to be his brother :)

[BeautyU2U]

LOL. Actually that's Larenz Tate's fraternal twin, I believe. But yeah, that's Mekhi Phiefer.

[texascarl]

My hat's off. Great scene.

[outlawwolf621]

Frank,Meldrick and whats her name were the best ones on the show.-the blonde-she was a babe-the one the Baldwin went out with,not Kay the other onshe was damn hot.

[outlawwolf621]

like I said-they should not have killed Luther off so fast-he was a great character.I loved hating him.He was teh personified bad guy.I actually rooted for him.

[nnnnnnnp]

Ah the Luther Mahoney saga. The show went to shit after Junior Bunk got shot and Kellerman and Frank left.

[easilyjaded2]

I agree 100%. After Frank and Mike left, it was just empty.

[Barricade17]

Frank WAS the show.

[kevsul47]

great stuff from lewis

[kopiterob]

Homicide was and still is the best cop show I've ever seen. No happy endings, unclosed cases, flawed characters and the killers often shown to be just as human. In the UK it suffered from poor scheduling, I first saw it when I got in from a late shift. None of my mates watched it, they're now borrowing my dvds. Felt the loss when I watched the final episode. CSI is good, but it's no Homicide!

[psafkow]

Frank Pembleton & Meldrick Lewis were, by far, the best regular characters. Luther Mahoney is a fantastic bad guy character.

[easilyjaded2]

Frank, Meldrick, and Tim, of course. Though I love Gee and Kay with all my heart too!

[tbussanich]

This the best single scene ever from "Homicide".

[Lavaman3682]

Thanks for posting these. Just heard the other day an interview on NPR from the guy who plays Lewis. He wrote the beginning and ending of "The Wire" and "The Shield". He said when he auditioned for "Homicide" there was no script to read, just read from the book it's based on. Mahoney was the CREEEEPIEST.

Thanks for the memory, esp the sandwich scene

[umeedmerchant]

actually, Clark Johnson who played Lewis directed those episodes, he didn't write them.

[solord]

But he did direct a few epsiodes though.

[pumpkinhold]

ETD - the best bad guy of all time! Chr1st I miss this show.

[easilyjaded2]

Ahh, I agree. ETD was brilliant as Luther Mahoney.

[CJ5797]

the very best bad guy on the show!!!!

[psycho6661]

The Kid in the leather jacket,who played Luther Mahoney's nephew,Junior Bunk,is Mekhi Phifer of ER.

As a funny side note,the actor who played such a great Villain as Luther,Erik Dullems,had a cameo as a gay hairdresser in The Doors

[TaurusGirl423]

Homicide was the best show on television! Thanks for posting this video :)

[chrisdelbosque]

I love this show; Too bad hardly anyone else did. That says a lot about who we are as a society when shows like this are left in the shadows while a show like "Nash Bridges" can beat the crap out of it in the ratings.

Wow, I really made myself sad just now.

[easilyjaded2]

I really, really agree. Only crappy shows survive now because that's what the majority of America watches. They ignore brilliant shows like Homicide: Life on the Street.

[KillerOfTheSun2007]

Agreed i loved this show and its the truth that not many people rememeber this show since it didnt appeal to those that didnt look for great acting from just a solid cast.This will remian as the best REAL TV show in my lifetime.

[Munchkin25]

GO LEWIS!!!

My favorite detective besides Munch from Homicide and possibly one of his best moments ever...

Thank you for posting this. :D
