David Costabile
Played Thomas Klebanow, prize-grubbing managing editor of the Baltimore Sun.
Last seen in: commercial for Holiday Inn Express and their new hot breakfast bar.
Well, I know I said that I was going to give everyone a downgrade for their first gig after The Wire, but this is a downgrade from pretty much anything except for Step Up 2 The Streets
(...why Kima...why...) Not even a speaking part in this commercial?
In an interesting sidenote, I always thought I'd seen this actor somewhere before while watching The Wire, but I wasn't able to identify him until last night, as I fell asleep, I had my eureka moment - he was the creepy bearded dude in Damages!
Oh, right. Nobody watched that show either. Goddammit.
Bonus cast update: There are unconfirmed reports of Isaah Whitlock, Jr. in an ad as part of Dunkin' Donuts' new campaign for their oven toasted products. It looks like him, but he doesn't really say anything, so I can't be sure. Yes, all black people look alike to me. Happy?
