Dominic West (aka Jimmy McNulty) Reads Jane Austen

If you’ve watched The Wire, you know him as Jimmy McNulty, the smart, boozing Baltimore cop that likes an occasional romp and goes rogue here and there. Now, here’s your chance to see another side of Dominic, the side that’s more at home, at least geographically speaking. Here we have, as Ed tells us, the British actor, an Eton product, “reading Pride and Prejudice (he’s a first-rate reader) and then smirking before he gamely sips some Carte Noire coffee.” Watch it here, and thanks Ed for the tip.
