The Wire

My question pitched to David Simon, creator of ground breaking TV Series The Wire on Simon Mayo, Radio 5 Live:

I don’t want to praise your show like everyone else. You know it’s good. What I want to know is where does the inspiration for your characters come from? Specifically Omar, does such a cool psychopath exist?

Sorry for the off-topic comment Ben. My name's Matt Chapman and I'm freelancing on DVD & Blu-ray Review in Rosie's absence. Can you drop me a line on 'meejaboy (at) gmail dotcom'. We'd like to get a headshot to go with the piece you wrote for the mag. Cheers, Matt
