lumpenprol Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Robert F. Chew -- best known for playing Proposition Joe on "The Wire" -- was found dead yesterday in his apartment in Baltimore ... TMZ has learned. According to the coroner in Baltimore, Chew died of cardiovascular disease. "Morbid obesity" was listed as a contributing factor.Chew had very little acting experience before "The Wire" or after. He was on the cult HBO show -- which took place in Baltimore -- for five seasons. Jamie Hector, who played Marlo on the show, tweeted this afternoon, "I didn't want to believe this #RIP Robert F Chew, Prop Joe will always be remembered Robert Chew will always be loved and missed!"

hello spiral Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 On 1/19/2013 at 10:43 AM, usagi said: ^ it was in a scene from s2 where Prop Joe says to Ziggy Sobotka's older brother, "if it weren't for Sergei here, y'all would be some cadaverous motherfuckers". this was after Ziggy got into a confrontation with Prop Joe's nephew, Cheese, and his bro called on Sergei to help sort it out with Joe. RIP to the man. Yeah, know the scene. What I meant was, despite being a fucking great scene, nobody appears to have put it up on the youtubes. Closest I could get was the other scene in Prop Joe's shop with Omar and the clock.

And one thing that pissed me off was, if I remember correctly, Kima was the one character whose arc they didn't wrap up nicely at the end of the show. It's like they just forgot about her.
