The Godfather

Maurice Levy is a skilled defense attorney and was kept on retainer by the drug-trafficking Barksdale crew, representing the organization's members at trials and advising Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell on how to avoid investigations. Levy is presented as corrupt and unscrupulous, willing to defend any drug client without taking into account the source of their defense payment. vs. Templeton is a young reporter who allows his extreme ambition to lead him to falsify stories. He has previously worked at the Wichita Eagle and the Kansas City Star. Templeton sees his current job as a general assignments reporter at The Baltimore Sun as a stepping stone to The Washington Post or New York Times. |

Levy. The other guy was one of the few characters on the Wire that felt ONE DIMENSIONAL. |

Tobias... you blowhard!

Templeton was probably my favorite journalist! Still though Levy was immensely compelling, and I always wished we could have seen more of the LAWYER shit of the city. |

For as little screen time he has, I have yet to see a show that can make such a character all that DEEP.

lol I actual find Levy to have more depth than Desmond (if you're talking about his MOS,MOF to Orientation appearances). I think that Levy is a guy that can be charming, cunning, funny, and yet a total ASS all while he takes advantage of the system by representing rich clients who he knew were guilty anyways. There are also moments when he's RIGHT, too. |

lol I was actually talking about LTDA, but I can see why it wouldnt be counted. And I do enjoy Levy's screen time. He's an ass, fun to watch, etc. I just don't think he's deep, that's all! |
