The Wire star Jamie Hector speaks out about a possible REBOOT of the hit HBO series - and reveals why he loves playing such a 'flawed' character


Jamie, 48, joined the crime drama TV series in 2004 in its third season playing a ruthless gangster named Marlo Stanfield, who is the head of the eponymous Stanfield Organization in the Baltimore drug trade.

Jamie Hector has shared his thoughts on the possibility of The Wire getting a reboot in the future and whether or not he thinks the hit HBO show, which also starred Dominic West and Idris Elba, would be as successful in this day and age. Following on from the success of The Wire, which concluded in March 2008, Hector went on to star in various other TV shows including Heroes and Power, and he then took on the role of Detective Jerry Edgar in Amazon Prime series Bosch, which ran from 2014 until 2021. Most recently, Hector starred in the HBO series We Own This City which aired in 2022 and detailed the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force, and the corruption surrounding it.
