Whether you root for the dealers or the cops taking down the dealers it’s easy to forget the people that lose no matter what: the addicts. Bubbles is a phenomenal character and is a great character to represent the homeless addicts that fall by society’s wayside.
My little brother has been struggling with addiction for over half his life. I just found out recently he’s now living under a bridge. This clip from the Wire really hit hard.
In a show with a lot of amazing actors and performances, I think he might be the best one. Every scene he’s in, no matter the context, he just kills it. During the entire show he goes through so much and has a ton of ups and down and you can just feel the character and how well he worked that roll.
The arc of Bubbles is poignant to a lot of us because there are parts of bubbles we see in ourselves.

Incredible performance
The only scene on any TV show that made me shed a tear.
I’ve always thought that I’d love to read that fictional award-winning article written about the guy 😀

Doesn’t matter what kind of addiction you deal with if you are honest with yourself Bubbles speaks to you on a deep level.
