If you were on The Wire chances are high you are going to get a happy birthday post from me.

Clarke Peters played the always awesome Lester Freamon on the Baltimore drama - and added some class to the Baltimore police force.

You can currently catch Clarke on Damages (although the Season Finale was last week - you can catch older episodes on Hulu) where instead of catching the corrupt folks in society he actually is one of the corrupt folks.

In honor of Clarke’s birthday give a watch to a classic scene from The Wire below and also takepart with The Ella Thompson Fund of the Parks & People Foundation which supports recreation and after-school programs in West Baltimore,
