down to the wire

Men’s Vogue kicked off its yearlong Critics’ Choice series last night with a toast to “The Wire.” The lauded HBO show wraps up its fifth and final season this Sunday, and cast members Dominic West, Andre Royo, and Michael K. Williams were on hand at the newly opened Astor Center to let the crowd in on a few backstage secrets in a panel discussion moderated by Men’s Vogue deputy editor Ned Martel. After more than a few laughs over the trials and tribulations of filming in Baltimore, West—better known to “Wire” fans as irresistible rebel cop Jimmy McNulty—raised a glass of cognac from Critics’ Choice series sponsor Hennessy and gamely gave himself over to the obsessed. At least one fan forgot his cocktail-hour cool and requested a photo with his favorite character on the show; another guy kept gee-whizzing over the fact that West, a native of Yorkshire, wasn’t speaking in McNulty’s pitch-perfect Baltimore accent. “After this, let’s see, first I’m doing a costume drama—I’m playing Oliver Cromwell,” West reported, poshing up his accent a bit for effect. “And then, George Pelecanos, one of writers from ‘The Wire,’ he’s got a heist movie that I’m hoping gets off the ground soon.” Throwing a nod to Williams (a.k.a. noble loner thug Omar), he added. “It’s been a good run. I’d like to keep things in the family.”
