Idris Elba’s Character ‘Stringer Bell’ On “The Wire” Was Originally Going To Be Urinated On By Michael K. Williams’ Character ‘Omar’

Writer and producer of “The Wire” George Pelecanos originally wrote a scene in the show where Omar (Michael K. Williams) was supposed to piss on Stringer (Idris Elba) after killing him.

However, Idris wasn’t having it.

“Ain’t nobody pissing on me,” he stated. Even after learning it would be a dummy, he stood firm.

“Nobody pisses on my double, either,” he stated.

And just like that, the scene got cut.
