Read more about Jimmy McNulty at: Wikipedia Official Site: HBO James "Jimmy" McNulty is a fictional character and one of the main characters on the HBO drama The Wire, played by Dominic West. McNulty is an Irish-American detective in the Baltimore Police Department. While talented in his profession, McNulty's conceited belief that he is more intelligent than his peers and his willingness to ignore the chain of command in pursuit of his own investigative projects mean that he regularly incurs the wrath of his superiors. When off the job, he has frequent problems involving alcoholism, alimony, child support, and unstable relationships. He is central to many of the successful high-end drug investigations that take place within the series. McNulty is loosely based on Ed Burns, co-writer of the series. British actor Ray Winstone was originally considered for the part. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, Winstone had difficulty returning to England for several weeks due to the subsequent grounding of flights, and dropped out of consideration once he was finally able to return home. Series creator David Simon next considered American actor John C. Reilly, but he declined because his wife did not wish to move to Baltimore.
