Out of Character with Andre Royo (HBO)

[Caesarslegion1]

Shame Dukie just took his place

[lueeseCreamcheese]

Aww so plsd that bubbs is so nice in real life as well! And his story of redemption was an inspiration 2 keep me clean TheKryten666! Snoop however= hardcore AND a girl 4 once!

[psychicriver]

ROFL the security guard beat his ass thinking he was a real junky XD

[seraph107]

yea` , his actin` skills are just pure genial , great actor

[bluecatbabe]

I always thought of Bubbles as the hero in The Wire: the decent guy struggling against his own fatal flaw. In between one series and the next I used to worry how he was doing...



[DaHipHopVault]

I first noticed him as that tattooed informant in Shaft (that fell out the window), but he was amazing as Bubbles.

[slavik4666]

say hello to Fidel and Raúl for me Andre ;)

[TheAnoyingDevil]

God damn I love Bubbles in The Wire.

[mankytoes]

I love the idea that Bubbs has been inspirational to real life junkies. What a character, nothing but love.

[halflifeproductionz]

looks a bit like kaseem G!! haha.

loved his character and his super wonderful performance. The Wire is the best.

[ramonalejandrosuare]

Holy shit this was a real open and honest interview. The type you never see an actor give. He called out an actor he fought with, talked about getting some tail, and made a pro-Cuba comment.

[Sarc37]

Haha, the story about the security guard nearly beating him up was great.

[YourAsianMusic]

He was so fucking good as bubbles, he should have won something for that

[audiocable]

bubbles had the best story of all of em, powerful character

[Krowsnose]

Probably my favorite character on that show. He showed the reality from the other side, the customer. He was on point with it all. Some of his scenes were the most emotional out of the series. Loved him for that. Also gives me hope for kicking my own habits.

[AztlanPrincess]

Most black people are boring, crude, mundane conversationalists.

This guy actually said "I like some ass!" twice.....so droll.

[InsightVidya]

women, candy, $50

living the dream man

[johngoo343]

much obliged

[HKLesterol]

whats weird my friend whos a fan of this seriestold me that the actor who played "Lt. Cedric Daniels" actually audtioned for the role of bubbles- lol i cant see it

[Benjomaster]

How do they take out his tooth?

[spaceunicorn]

@Benjomaster They paint it black, then don't actually pull it out and put it back in at the end of the day :/

[Benjomaster]

@spaceunicorn oh lol, makes sense^^

[gumikebbap]

@Benjomaster It's just a black coating around his tooth.

[Wargoat6]

Thumbs up if you love shopping and ass.

[billma12345]

bubbles is awesome in real life

[AliothSenator]

Awesome actor!

[edwdixon5]

Bub got clean! Respect.

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

He's kinda not much of a stretch from his character which is odd because I thought he gave a good performance.

It's a shame that he dropped out of High School

[TH3USUALSUSPECT]

The security guard almost beat my ass cause he thought i was a real junkie hahahahah

[shavanga]

great actor

[simonizer888]

Can't wait to see him play as the 'over there' cab driver in Fringe! =o)

[gumikebbap]

I think this is the only video with 0 dislikes I've ever seen on youtube. I hope to see him in some other show or movie. He's an acting beast.

[laudanum09]

@gumikebbap someone might have done a thumbs down just to spite you. basterds....and @TheKryten666 I agree, that and checking out interviews to remind myself some of the chars aren't dead and okay even though the fiction they portray is as real as the street your house sits on.

[erroneousapostrophe]

They fixed his tooth!

[draxcir]

I <3 u bubs. 

[abcbamz17]

hahahah

[kikanorah]

Andre Royo made me cry at the end of the 4th season when he tries to kill himself, such a great actor. Thank you to the creator of The Wire to have assembled such great cast (sorry if I write badly, I'm French).

[mkl62]

7-17-2010. He's not blue. He's only 42. Happy Birthday, Andre. You and I have the same birthday (I'm 48). Many happy returns.

[halflifeproductionz]

Fuck me! i loved all the characters in the series, but this guy was exceptional!!

[scampbell04]

This man should have won several Emmy's and Golden Globes. The way the character evolved from season one to season five was amazing and he played it so well.

[foxyfaefife]

Aww, Bubbs - The Little Tramp for the 21st century.

[elchoaro800]

I love how he always said "McNutty."

[Thestreetdream83]

Haha bubbz!!

[AgileTablet]

no wonder his portrayal of bubs is so human, he is hilarious and doesn't stop cracking jokes!

[AgileTablet]

[elmucks]

Andre's portrayal of Bubbles in The Wire is fantastic. He's my favorite character on that show.

[BigPapiChulo]

I met Andre at a Barnes and Noble by my house- and he's incredibly cool and down-to-Earth. Very nice guy and he deserved an Emmy for his portrayal of Bubs.

[darthzydar]

Hey yo Bubs!

[stekop1]

How honest and genuine is he? 'I like some ass' Haha, legend!

[Kogerii]

It's good to see him looking healthier, out of the junkie get-up.

He has the best favorite show of the cast I've seen.

Cuba has a whole lot of cultures mixed in a tiny space.

[cinenglland]

Hey Bubz

[Snapdog22]

The Snitchin' Bubbs!

He should have won an Emmy.

[amsyco]

@Snapdog22 He should have won 5 emmys, one for each season. Bubbs was truly the heart and soul of The Wire.

[element1108]

@Snapdog22 right on.

[Bastard0fYoung]

@Snapdog22 Seriously! Can't believe that not a single actor on this show got so much as a nomination. The Emmies are a joke.

[zeppelin0110]

Amazing how he sounds a lot like Bubbs in real life, too.

[TheKryten666]

The redemption of Bubbles was THE character arc that gave balance to all of the bleakness.

Makes me wanna stay clean. Love you Bubbles.

[thegov08]

just turn the taps on in the tub and jump in. its not too hard.

[LupeJustinian]

@TheKryten666 I don't understand how when you compare Bubbles' arc to Jesse Pinkman's from Breaking Bad, you don't see how Bubs' arc trumps his. Jesse was on the path to redemption and was sidetracked by grudges with his parents and a realization that he truly was evil, which reflected a storywide cynicism circling in on all of the major characters. Maybe because Bubs in the end didn't represent the story as a whole because he actually DID face his darkness and accept it, unlike the other

[metalfatigue217]

One of the deepest and best characters on the BEST TV SHOW EVER. Plus, he's Cuban! No es facil...

[danob86]

legend

[Phame17]

Lmao! He said the security guards were about to beat his ass cause they thought he was a real junkie XDD Poor Bubs.

[JLPKZ]

look at this snitch ass bitch

[diahni]

Cuban guys are the cutest from either side of the 90 mile divide. Looks like the Bubs character is Andre-as-junkie. What a doll.

[waveali]

He's a great actor and probably be a cool guy to hang with.

[LTmattYT]

the only dopefiend anyone could hug

[canyousaythat]

yea definitely a very talented actor

[10Bones01]

Bubbles is the bomb-

[shugaroony]

Yeah what a great guy!

[jexplink]

Such a cool guy. One of the greatest actors EVER.

[aks73]

He was amazing as bubs.

[mrlowdangle]

agreed,maybe my favourite character

looks pretty much the same in real life too lol, but a bit cooler.. sounds like he knows his stuff too, judging by what he said about america turning cuba into disneyland, so true! theyve been crawling up cuba's arse and causing trouble for years

[joshgoldenc]

most of the actors in the wire are from brooklyn or ny, so how they sound on the show is pretty much how they sound in real life. homeboy knows his politics so yes i very much agree with you.

[tahthedon]

I never would've guessed

I always thought he was strait black

[chefawkes]

lotta cubans are straight black dude

[tormentedteapot]

Him and the guy who played Marlo were in Heroes.

[dickin585]

I LIKE SOME ASS. Wow. That was hilarious.

[Ipplerstif]

He's 40 years old lol

[cdkbdfjt]

He kind off was still in character his tooth was still black

[mkl62]

July 17, 2009. Happy Birthday, Andre. You and I have the same birthday. The good news is that I have you beat by 6 years. Many happy returns.

[curb1510]

PLEASE tell me he's now getting work. He is brilliant. He can do comedy, drama, pathos, he's brilliant.

[hightimesbruce]

He was really good on The Wire, surprised he doesn't get offered more work.

[jdotglenn]

What an odd fellow. Cool.

[djlatintin]

has Bubs got a grammy yet. Shame on you Hollywood

[kamerunite]

I am still hooked on to this show. best ever. Seeing Bubs talking good, just put a smile on my face.

[2DaChoppa]

he doesnt look very 'out of character' lol.. all good tho, good actor

[shaft9000]

great actor...i hope he expands his range and does not become typecast .

[OoJustChrisOo]

Damn bubbles still looks like a crackhead.hahhaha

it's all luv though.

[Preset1]

His still in character. He was on the show "hero's" minus the scabs and blackened tooth.

[BeholdZeus]

The best actor in the wire!

[MetalliTooL]

I didn't expect the actor to mumble like Bubbles when he's out of character.

[michaelmikelmicc]

i hope this guy does well

[worm082]

much obliged!

[Gam3Junkie]

Bubbs Depot <3

[davidAnonsen]

on the show he spells it Depo

[Timbobrutha]

'I like some ass"

[chicityboi2345]

ayo Bubbs I got 2 for 1...You up?

[pmurda111]

I got them WMD's

[senorpachangaz]

I love this guy. He does a TREMENDOUS job on The Wire. I hope we get to see him in more roles in the future....."and get laid. I like to get some ass"......"I'd like to go there before we fuck it up and turn it into Disneyland".....hahah Awesome

[atomicwombat00]

stringer bell kills it, hes the sickest man

[andyct5]

he's english. i couldn't believe it when i found out.

[LilM0]

Bubs and Kima are my favorite characters. :)

[senorpachangaz]

Kima was one of my favorites too until.........................­..*Season5 SPOILERS*.........she rats out McNulty and Freamon's scheme to the bosses. What the fuck? That shit would've just gone away quietly if she hadn't gotten on her fucking high horse, and the fact is the ends justified the means. McNulty managed to find a way to get real Po-lice work done.

[andyct5]

yeah it was really disappointing when she did that. i guess they probably couldn't get away without reprocussions of their actions and felt they had to show that real po-lice weren't all cool with what they were doing.

[andyct5]

wow, your fave 2 characters, kima and bubs....both rats. disappointed kima nearly fucked everyone over in the end. Bunk, Stringer & Avon my fave characters.

[Shadowformer]

loves this guy!

[mvgreene]

Who's Andre Royo??? I thought Bubbles was real. Stop playin' - you look good cleaned up! Stay clean Bubbs...

[dannylilone1]

The man loves ass!!!!

[YasinIsse]

bubbles is jokes...

[Boomer22z]

he is the man

[mamacal123]

good luck to Cuba

[tross840]

i actually know this dude my mom was friends with him when i was younger.. i even have a pic with stella lol. too bad u guys are jus gonna say im lyin

[GraysAthletic]

mate, dont go telling people he was 'friends' with your mum! See how that sounds lol

[IAmThePartyCrasher]

"The security guards almost beat my ass, because they thought I was a real junkie."

Ah ha ha. Bubbles is the man.

[jappie1980]

interesting character

[mrtvman]

cool
