WATCH: Actor from The Wire appears on RTÉ News report at Dublin Airport giving out about flight delays

Airlines should know better than to mess with one of the Barksdale crew.

The weather from the Beast from the East has played havoc with the travel plans of many in Ireland in recent days, with numerous flights cancelled and delayed as a result.

A significant number of passengers have been affected, including a few at Dublin Airport on Thursday who expressed their frustration to an RTÉ camera there to report on events.

Whether RTÉ knew it or not, one of those frustrated airline passengers was none other than Fredro Starr (Fredro Scruggs Jr.), a US rapper and actor who will be well known to fans of The Wire for his role as Marquis ‘Bird’ Wilson, an enforcer in the Barksdale organisation.

Needless to say, Fredro was not happy that his flight from Chicago to Prague met with significant delays in Ireland, nor was he happy at Aer Lingus for being stuck on a runway for three hours without even getting any water.

Not impressed for sure, but we have seen him angrier to be fair…
