With season five of HBO's critically acclaimed show "The Wire" premiering this weekend, SOHH spoke with actor Tray "Poot" Chaney to get the inside scoop on the final season of one of television's hardest hitting programs.
Chaney first appeared during Season One of "The Wire" as Malik "Poot" Carr, one of the soldiers in Avon Barksdale's formidable drug organization. Over the last four seasons, loyal "Wire" fans have watched series regulars like D'Angelo Barksdale, Stringer Bell and Preston "Bodie" Broadus be killed off, making Chaney grateful just to see Poot survive.
"I am really excited this season because I made it five years," Chaney told SOHH of the upcoming season. "A lot of characters on that show didn't get a chance to make it. I think it's gonna be tight. As far as the characters are concerned, everybody has stepped up. It's nothing like every other season. I know what the people want, and that's what they are gonna get. They are gonna get the streets again. The people are gonna like it."
As with previous seasons of "The Wire," the focus of season five will shift to reveal another institution of Baltimore life. This time around, the show will take a closer look at the media's role in the city by bringing their cameras into a Baltimore newsroom. Despite the shift in focus, Chaney says avid "Wire" watchers won't be denied their regular dose of the Baltimore streets, as the plot will continue to include regular scenes with favorites like Marlo and Prop Joe.
"When it comes to the drugs and the streets and everything we went through with Marlo's crew and now with Bodie being dead, it's gonna be wild," Chaney said. "With the media situation, they go in a different direction like they normally do, but as far as everything with Marlo's crew, there's gonna be a lot of stuff people are gonna be caught off guard by. It's gonna be crazy."
