New York Times Review ​ ​ A look at recent bad guys on TV Ten complicated recent TV baddies… Jamie Hector as Marlo Stanfield on “The Wire”: “The Wire” usually has higher ambitions than dealing with good and evil, but Marlo — a sociopathic drug kingpin motivated only to survive and perpetuate his own legend — is the closest the show has come to the latter. In one episode, he ordered the murder of a security guard whose only crime, an underling explained, was “talking back.” Variety ​ ​ “The Wire alum Jamie Hector has joined the cast of the upcoming Cinemax drama pilot Quarry. Hector will play Arthur, the husband of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nikki Amuka­Bird’s character, Ruth. I was very curious to know with whom Amuka­Bird would be paired. The selection of Hector is an ​ ​ ​ excellent one, and only increases my interest in the show, as I’m sure it will for many S&A readers. ​ ​ INDIEWIRE ​ The 10 Best Gangster Squads Even though all the characters of David Simon's masterful HBO TV series are fictional, they were so intimidating that it's still too nerve­wracking to try and pick who is the most "gangster" of them all. There's the Barksdale crew, who started it all: Avon (Wood Harris), Stringer Bell (Idris Elba), Bodie (J.D. Williams) and Wee­Bey (Hassan Johnson). Then there's Marlo (Jamie Hector) and his crew, all of whom came later and displayed a viciousness that even surpassed even that of Avon. If they made all TV shows this good, none of us would ever leave the house. COMPLEX, April 2013 ​ The 50 Best TV Dramas of All Time 1.

What Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector) lacks in human emotion, he makes up for in said lack of human emotion. While Avon and Stringer find themselves distracted by trifling nuisances like family honor and outside interests, Marlo keeps his head down and thinks only about The Game. What makes Marlo such an interesting boss is his motivation, or seeming lack thereof. He doesn’t seem to have much use for money, and his achievements never bring him much joy. His lust is for power, plain and simple. He spent years watching Baltimore’s criminal elder statesmen wearing the crown, and concluded that it would fit better on his own head. Street level dealers in The Wire are often referred to as ‘soldiers’; the Stanfield operation takes this a few steps further. Marlo’s underlings are put through their paces with tense (but kind of fun looking) paintball exercises, learning how to use the dilapidated territory for cover, and where to aim for a kill shot, depending on whether or not your opponent is wearing body armour. While Avon’s thugs got high on their own supply and took notes during criminal conspiracies, Marlo’s soldiers come up with innovative body disposal methods and codes that even Lester Freamon struggles to crack. With the terrifying team of Snoop and Chris Partlow backing him up, Marlo has his heart set on total domination, followed by a nice trip to Atlantic City as a treat. THE HOLLYWOOD NEWS ​ .
