Cutty

Dennis "Cutty" Wise is a major character and protagonist on the HBO crime drama series, The Wire. He is a former gangster that acted as a viscious enforcer for the Baltimore based, Barksdale drug cartel. However upon being released from prison he begins to pursue a different life style by breaking his ties to the streets and makes an attempt to save as many of the young dealers working for the cartel, by starting up his own boxing gym for the troubled youth.
"Cutty"'s story is one of the few in the show to represents true hope in the streets. Him turning his back on the drug game and making the attempt to stop the younger generation of corner kids from walking the path of prison or an early death, makes him one of the truly pure and heroic characters on the show.
He is portrayed by Chad L. Coleman who also portrays Tyreese on AMC's The Walking Dead.
