10 Male Leads That Made Their TV Show A Hit

10. Omar Little - The Wire

Through Michael K. William’s portrayal, Omar Little became a modern day Robin Hood on the streets of Baltimore, completely different to the other thugs populating the streets. Omar is known for his strict moral code, refusing to harm innocents and use profanity.

With his terrifying whistle and amazing shotgun wielding skills, Little is a terrifying stick-up man who people run from when he’s in sight. His tender, kind nature however, is played admirably and breaks the typical notion of what a street criminal should act like.

While The Wire seen an increase in popularity after the show had run its course, the show is loved to this day as is Omar Little, and the catchphrase to alert thugs of his arrival- “Omar comin!”
