Line 30:
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Marlo Stanfield is pretty much the only Complete Monster on the show. The actor who plays him, Jamie Hector, teaches martial arts and drama to at-risk youth, counsels them, and checks whether they attend school via his own charitable organization, Moving Mountains. He also helped raise money for survivors of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.
** Likewise, Sandi McCree in real life is as far away from [[Evil Matriarch]] De'Londa as you can get, being an advocate for arts education among children and teens, and all the people who contribute to the commentaries on the Season 4 DVD's, particularly [[David Simon]], make it a point to emphasize how nice she is in real life.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: It can be pretty amusing seeing the characters marvel over what was cutting-edge technology at the time, but of course is not so much anymore. Most notably, text messages.
