Omar's killer talks with 92Q's Big Phat Morning Show!!!

[courtdork0420]

Bug is absolutely adorable.

[DreadfulControversy]

LMAO "My father"

[tommyt1971]

Who did you hang around to talk like that?

My father! (Oh man, nearly fell outta my chair laughing when he said that!!)

[YouBeanz]

At age 12 you know right from wrong & it seems like the parents are very involved so why is it a shock that he can do a 180 as an actor? Lets stop acting like they are supposed to be retarded 5 yr olds who talk/act like Lil Boosie or some sht.

[Terribad]

Hahah Kenard, oh how I hated you. But this Kid is awesome

[sewerface]

How adorbs.

[killerskillet]

fucking spoiler alert. remove this shit.

[SGTBLACK0UT]

@killerskillet Spoiler alert? Season 5 was 3 years ago you should have seen it by now.

[killerskillet]

@SGTBLACK0UT The Wire is my favorite show, you're goddamn right I've seen it (probably 3 times or more). It's for this same reason you should be protecting the people who haven't seen this yet. Thanks for the help, downey.

[Tililweet]

man fuck kenard

[michaelfthomas]

AY TALISO IS IN MY CLASS. AT SUITLAN.

ALWAYS HEARD OF HIM ON THE WIRE. BUT NOW I SEEE. I SEE

[lilkamree]

the go to piveville middle damn that near me

[mellaLee21]

yeah, he's a great little actor. GREAT. but I'm not really sure I would ever allow my kid to do that kind of work. Having to work those hours, in that type of environment, with that kind of language and that kind of subject matter...it's probably a lot for the ADULT actors to take, much less the child ones.

BTW-*dead* at the radio host laughing when the kid says he goes to 'progressive christian academy'. lol and he needs to stop hogging the mike from bug.

[DiamondWEAPON]

This shows just how good of an actor he is even as a kid, that his demeanor in real life is like the exact opposite of Kenard.

[oany81]

He would become a better actor over the years.

[PabzGLRP]

Haha, he better say his favourite character was Michael, else he'll come back and beat him up again!

[SedVicious]

anybody who's character ends up being hated by the viewers is obviously doing a great acting job to make u feel that hate

[Ryz0n89]

Man this show is just non-stop irony. Kenard, even though he's a little kid, is probably one of the characters I hated the most on the show. I was so fucking pissed when he killed Omar man, not how I wanted it to go. Dude's a little Brother Mouzone in real life.

[Wargoat6]

"Non-chalantly and with scrutiny." DAMN, I was an idiot at his age compared to him!

[lubui2583]

@Wargoat6 lol thats what im saying

[pplayer666]

- "you're killing Omar"

- "what?! woooow! cooooooooool!"

[maxinator3000]

It's like watching a Kenard from a parallel universe

[39213cooper]

thumbs up if you love when micheal beat the shit out him

[imbobsaget]

yo is that bug sitting next to him?

this kid is such a good actor, i hated kenard in the show but the guy who plays him seems really well spoken and good mannered.

[lou4brew]

This kid is going places...acting, politics, business, whatever.  Be on the lookout for him in about 10 years.

[lashay1980]

The sweetest kids-and very honest when they say, "it makes you want to help," because it's fine to see these talented actors play these roles, but this happens in every community and we all know someone who is effected by this.

[Baltimorehop]

All of the kids in the Wire are bright, brilliant kids. If you see their real life interviews, you will be impressed from the characterization they give them in the Wire. Snoop is perhaps the only one who similates "Life living art."

[brianooog]

KILLA KENARD THIS YOUNGIN IS A GOOD KID

[Crazydog7]

I think its sad that so many people have trouble telling the difference between the character and the actor.

[iJustHadAnEpiphany1]

The kid that plays foul mouthed, killing ass Kenard goes to a Christian school...It don't get no better than this. Lmao!

[WiseGuy5674]

LOL!....Kenard keeps snatchin' the mic away from little Obama!

[Digadog81]

Funny like he said it. He thought Mike was soft untill he got that beatdown now he working for him on his corner

[WiseGuy5674]

Fucking Kenard!...Little bastard!...My favorite Kenard scene was slingin' and he barked at the junkie that was approaching him after he told him to stay where he was..something like ..."Step the fuck back off that curb mothafucka...stay where the fuck you is...fuckin' usin' mothafucka.."...Laughed my fucking ass off!

[MrDsmalls]

dude this kid is so freakin fierce on The Wire

"I'm out here on the street gettin' shit done! You up in the house somewhere actin' a bitch!"

"The package up my ass gump!"

[didi703]

WOW He Sounds So Proper !

Ahh They Are So Cute

[PureGlamMan]

Wow...glorifying violence. This is healthy for young children all over the world. I don't believe what I'm seeing, this is so dumb.

[SoSupaStarry]

this kid is a great actor because i hated Kenard but he's too cute in real life. and lol at him lookin at his mom for assurance on some questions

[Philly2dabone]

both these kids got great presonalities....awesome young brothas. the kid that plays kenard seems like good people in reality, cuz while watchin the wire i wanted to choke his character lol. but what a talented young actor. i wish them bost much success in the future.

[Infamousjayman]

thats my best friend Thuliso Dingwall i go to school wit him, my nigga T

[shyznic]

Man them kids are lucky! that is a start of a real career!

[mrjones501]

he gonna be a great actor one day..a foul mouth ignorant gangster that look like he should be in jail for life cuz he'll never change..but a sweet kid in real life lol

[WhytyProd]

WOW, this kid is an amazing actor. I cant believe he sounds like this.

[1KillaSkrilla1]

That kid is a fuckin superstar in the makin! he killed it on the wire!

[shizzlecream]

hard as fuck

[brwhizz]

Chris and Snoop talk about this very show in their hunt for New York drug dealers.

[AspergerUprising]

Hey! He isn't anything like Kenard in real life. Damn!

[tommyt1971]

@AspergerUprising You think that's impressive, watch an interview with Jaime Hector who played Marlo - his personality will really throw ya!

[Jeanpierre425]

I went to hyattsville middle! Man, that little Omar killer kid hogged the microphone. He needed to fall back. I thought it was so funny when I heard him speak. It's a shocker!

[Kartel10304]

Foreshadowing confirmed! Listen to series creator in this podcast:

ht tp : // w ww . np r. org/ templates/ story/ story . php? storyId = 87940925

[Sneezlebob]

hes a nice lil dude

[Microphonechecka2]

This little dude is talented

[chefawkes]

damn, hard to hate on the lil mufucka when he's so nice in real life.

[toReasonWhy]

It makes me less pissed that the arrogant little pissant Kenard killed Omar now that I see the kid who acted him is intelligent, funny and cute.

Of course, I should have known in the first place that the actor would be nothing like the character, but one can't help it sometimes, you know. Omar was just so badass.

[xxNBAxx]

Kenard Looks Like a Mini Ne-Yo Loool

[xxNBAxx]

Leave me alone for fuck sake. Every comment i do you have to retaliate to it. So what i think he looks like Neyo or if Dukie is my favourite character. Get a fucking life and stop hyping shit on youtube

[xxNBAxx]

yeah w.e.

[fallse7en]

@JRilla1879 you make $3000 a month selling hash to people around your city? i make more than that when i have a wank. you must be pretty cool, you know dealing drugs and shit

[balancedeath]

fine young men

[Prof16440]

those boys are very smart they have a good future ahead of them

[adrianbarnes05]

da kid on the right went 2 my old school when i was in the 8th he was in the 6th

[backinthespot]

cool lil dudes alri much props!

[bs20sanders]

nigga think u all that

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

little shit

[moiphx2]

You're an asshole.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

what? why is that? your a bigger arsehole for being such a whiny bitch

[moiphx2]

I ain't whining about shit. You the motherfucker calling children names. Bitch. Pussy. Sisterfucking cunt. Go be a man, not a punk.

[moiphx2]

Me and your dick, punk.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

what ,you want my dick?? get away from me gaylord

[sattfield]

'A nonchalant look, and with scrutiny.'

Well I wasn't expecting THAT! Kudos!

[marquis71893]

dude dat played kenard is a good actor cuz he sound nothing like he did in the wire

[gohard3O1R5gohome]

I dont cuss...it didnt come natural.

HE IS NOTHING LIKE KENARD

[rudysmustache]

Those kids were smart and insightful. A better interview than most adult celebs I see on late night talk shows.

[chrisokid]

that litte fucker is the next w smith!

[SHORTERCORDARO]

did you watch charm school ?

[DJHollygrove]

Well educated young actor!!! Very proud of this young black brother!!

[828428]

WOW Night and day like a muthafucka its good to see that he is not like the character on the show. "I do not have a girlfriend I wish I did But I do not"! Fucking cool.

[DaRocker21]

Seeing Omar getting whacked by that little boy was surreal, yet understandable. Omar was feared by every other bad guy, even Marlo. But it took a kid to stand past intimidation and actually. I loved Omar though. He was the shit.

[htownhomie06]

i read an article that said he cried during the 1st take shooting the scene where he had 2 kill Omar. he didn't like holding the gun and really struggled with the concept of killing. but yeah u would never know that by the way he played his character so well. very believable badass kid!!!! talented actor

[kimloveshim911]

these kids are so damn mature

[Emmjaye4life]

i know right........amazing

[marykae08]

He is a really good actor. I always thought he sort of played himself, or atleast talked the same. You see him like he is in this video having never seen the wire, you would never guess he could play a role like he does in the wire.

[lovemyer]

omg so cute!

[MissTiny14]

these boys are soo adroble

&& CLEVER.

[qb07]

aw so cute, very different from his character. but i guess it goes to show that hes a good actor.

[hisguhfrmtx]

they are vey smart kids

[AngstFisch]

Cutie cutie.

[condors1972]

good point Htownhomie but the scum on the real streets wouldnt get interviewed in a radio shack...anyway...I just don't see the point of discussing this stuff with kids...maybe its the behavior of the adults in the studio that annoys me more...lol..yeah, i regularly check the Baltimore Sun out for their stats and reports on crime..terrible really.

[htownhomie06]

i get what ur saying: don't glorify violence 2 impressionable youths. i guess i give them more credit. as actors on a show like this depicting real world issues, i'd like 2 think even child actors had a social sense of the type of change/impact/significance of helping bring this subject matter 2 light 2 masses who r unaware. there r those who glorify only one aspect but the writers/actors r storytellers. this kid was amazing as kenard & deserves a shot at more roles. that takes media promotion.

[condors1972]

interviewing kids about killing n shit. whats the point. black people need new role models. the cast of the Wire and particularly Omar are fictitious...geeeezzz

[htownhomie06]

no, the sad part is the writers & producers based 80percent of the plotlines AND characters on real people and real events. Get the DVD and watch the Special Features documentary on this season. This is Real World stuff that actually went down. i don't think u should blame the actors (never mind the kids) 4 doing such gr8 jobs of bringing this stuff 2 life.

[dakritic]

Kenard's hogging the mic, how about u share the interview.

[htownhomie06]

u hear him talking like some innocent lil' kid who still plays with MatchBox cars here. but 2 see him on The Wire, like a str8 up Thug in Training. He's a brilliant lil' actor!!!! All those kids did amazingly well with the roles. Omar was Omar and Michael was the one 2 take his place but Kenard woulda grew up & been the next Michael. He came out hard from the crib, lol. Gr8 acting.

[DTMusicTheOfficial]

they was talking about the BIG PHAT SHOW ON THE WIRE

[jontray87]

"It makes me wanna help." helluva answer

[jsnt]

Thuliso is going to run for office someday, and the sad thing is that nobody's going to vote for him because he killed Omar.

[gagecube]

I hated this kid in the wire, but in reality hes a nice kid. hes a good actor.

[WillMillion15]

@gagecube That's the sign of a real good actor. He was supposed to play a new breed of thug. One that doesn't care about anything and needs to be harder than the next man. He also wasn't meant to be a fan favorite, so he played it perfect.

[Skates2much]

The way that Kenard acts in The Wire and how well he does it, I never would have expected him to not be the way he is on the street. Smart kid for 12 btw. I still hate your character for killing Omar though. :)

[SimplyAdiva]

this kid is so articulate amazing.

[MackTheKnife12]

He must get bullied at school for whacking Omar

[bankenickel]

kenard gots a bright future ahead of him

[markalicuos]

this little fuck killed the only original street character in the show

i got so pissed

[boygenius7]

YOOOOOOO. These kids are so talented. He all well spoken than u take a look at his character and see the change in attitude and hear the change in his voice. Future star right there.

He says U kill Omar, and I'm like what. LOL

[doclafamilia]

that was crazy how the hosts gonna sit there & ask them if being on "the wire" makes them want to be in the drug game. that was dumbest question ever. what the fuck?

[CiviliTary]

Not really... Alot of kids think it's cool and no telling what being on a tv series like the wire would affect them. I never would have guessed Kanard was so well spoken. They're just mature kids.

[lifeinterrupted]

Exactly. Fucking idiots. Thuliso's response was superb. Both the boys seem like great kids.

[skullgang1992]

cute

[TubeGuest5178]

The WIRE shows you all angles of the game. The drug game goes all the way up to the white house. I'm using it as a metaphor because on Season 2 especially you see all the red-tape and beauracracy that goes on. All the legal mumble jumbo that clogs a community and a city. The drug game is actually economic slavery. The streets are the plantation and its all tangled up in 3 alliances mainly (1)the streets (2)the police and their people; (3)politicians. They all have their own gang loyalty.

[TubeGuest5178]

hahaha when a female is 12 she look 17

when a male is 12 he look more like 9 or 10.

[TubeGuest5178]

all boys have foul mouths i was in the 1st grade when i witnessed some boys cussin.. i was like we only in the 1st grade and the boys was like shut-da-flukk up...lol

[N9olan]

That is a stereotype. I didnt have a foul mouth and certainly some of my friends never had...most of the kids did though lol.

[mimi911roxs]

OMG that liar he says he never curses

and he always curses around me

he is really awsome though.

hes my best friend

[jamestill2000]

quit lyin. sounds dumb.

[Taisvidz]

the boy who plays Bug looks like a mini Carnell from B5

[KOWBOY1963]

FUNNY these kids speak better than anyone ive heard so far from the wire, and just about anyone on this chat. big ups to young america....older cats mess everythin up.

[Skittles2372]

OMGosh dude sound so diffrent but he iz cute

[stormyscout]

It's reassuring to hear that both Thulisio and Keenon are analytical--so that although this video refers to Thulisio as "Omar's Killer" he can separate that from himself. Keenon is a sweetheart--you can tell he loves Michael / Tristan.

I thought it as really sweet when Tristan mentioned that it was hard for him when his character had to kill Snoop, because Felicia Pearson was kind of like a big sister to him. Reality vs. the show! That's deep.

[xbdatlg60]

he's a good kid, but i hate him on the wire

[avilaguraenvagyok]

nice and smart kids, thanks for uploading this

[SamuraiNegro407]

It's weird seeing kenard speaking without saying motherfucker.

[aharris82]

Yeah, I hated his character on The Wire, but that just goes to show how good of an actor he is

[atownal]

both of yal are pussies! My son will fuck yal up lol. FYI Micheal a bitch Bodie is a real Nigga Lex is da realest

[jamesbrochill]

lex was a bitch, he killed a nigga because of a hoe, you don't do that

[jizzy2sexi]

word lol

[Drfeelyouup07]

right and now he a dead bitch that kat willing out

[Drfeelyouup07]

bodie dead and  lex dead hmmmm!

[ANCIENTMYS]

Cool kid and a really good actor.

[1231H]

These two are great child actors.

[x0court2qute0x]

Ironic in a sense...here's the actor who plays Kenard had no exposure to drugs and/or life on the streets. The actor who plays Bug was, yet plays a child ignorant to the hardships and dangers of life on the streets. Hm..cool

[ebonyd4ever]

they are so cute. it's good to see them being children.

[fuckboy1991]

its crazy 2 see them in real life they look so innocent

[ydefined]

This little kid is one of my favorites in the series.

Especially in Season 3 when he revealed his 'foul mouth' to the cops saying he aint afraid. It was Hilarious coming from such a young kid!

[nelsonh86]

i cnat bealive this kid murder the baddest most fear character of the show omar .

[bloodgangbanga]

IT ONLY TOOK A YOUNG BULL 2 MURK OMAR

[raoulthompson]

cos if any1 else walked in there he woulda checked em but hes always had a soft spot for kids

[StokelyCarmichael]

Kenard is SUPER Smart...It's good to see a young, versatile black man...

[yoddies]

lol mikes lil brother is from tha streets he hard lol

[Dflowen]

Wow really smart, very different from his portrayal from the Wire character.

[Number1Hater2008]

he murked omar lol

[hellraiza81]

LOL He's a good actor, cuz he come off like a lil hard headed motherfucka on the Wire, but he seems like a good kid in real life.

[nautaliz]

after seeing this, Kenard can act. he has a long career ahead of him if he can get good management

[lousour]

seeing how KENARD is in real life i appreriate his acting more

[GrizzINK]

Its still funny how mike beat his ass lol

[illflip]

lmao

[hubhub27]

lmfaooooooooooooooooo too

[bmore4101029]

The boy who plays Kennard lives out in B-more County.

[playahater27]

i think my nigga kenard could get a girlfriend he getting paid

[babybone954]

damn kenard is totally different in real life..wow what a great actor

[huskercane]

I HATE that backhanded compliment... "You're so well spoken?" WTF?!?!?

[darcskies777]

why is everybody surprised he's "well-spoken?"

I live in South Central. Damn near every kid is like that these days?

[TheGodMar]

I don't agree. A lot of young kids do not use such big words. That's why it's surprising. He speaks like an adult.

[bozax619]

haha... damn.. headcase201 that's exact thought i had... sweet kid

[illanig]

lmfao thats kenard...wow..yall gotta hear chris talk too..shit is crazy

[H34rtl3ss0n3]

acting was raw..too bad it ended.

[missbhavin4philly]

That kid that plays Kenard is so well-spoken! I can't beleive it is the same kid...damn good acting on his part!

[nikroc723]

I'm glad to see the younginz doing their thing.They both speak very well,I know we'll see them again real soon...

[rf94]

true that!

[quran777]

All of the actors on the Wire should be Emmy nominated, period. Nothing but RAW TALENT on the WIRE.

[pinkythebrain7]

I hated his azz disrespectful but I keep saying dang hes an actor.. a good one

Rha

[scott1360]
