The Avon Barksdale Story: Legends of the Unwired
$12.00
The Wire was based on the lives of real gangsters. The Avon Barksdale Story is the first to chronicle the
actual lives of these real people. Barksdale’s real name, Nathan Avon Barksdale, and his nickname, “Bodie,”
were both used in the series as composite characters. Avon Barksdale was The Wire’s first season’s central
character. The storyline focused on the Barksdale clan and their ruthless hold on Baltimore’s underworld and
the intense efforts of law enforcement to stop them. Barksdale was a real crime figure in Baltimore.
Featuring: Wood Harris
