Men's Vogue writer Ned Martel, a Baltimore native, joined three of The Wire's most memorable cast members—Andre Royo (Bubbles), Dominic West (McNulty), and Michael K. Williams (Omar)—at a Vogue photo shoot that, like the show itself, ended up going beyond the general expectation of its medium. Meeting up in Manhattan for the occasion, Martel and the three actors reflect on the tough realities depicted on the five seasons of the acclaimed HBO series, which the writer calls "the closest thing television has ever provided to rival the richness of a great novel," and discuss Baltimore's prospects for a better future.
