rdf:langString Malik "Poot" Carr is a fictional character on the HBO drama The Wire, played by actor Tray Chaney. Poot starts out as a drug dealer in the Barksdale Organization who slowly rises through the ranks. He eventually ends up leaving the drug trade after its violent nature causes the death of his best friend Bodie Broadus and many other of his friends. He has the distinction, along with Wee-Bey Brice, Omar Little, Bubbles, and Proposition Joe, of being one of the only characters in the drug trade to appear in every season. Of the 17 front-line Barksdale Organization gang members featured in the series, 12 die and three more are imprisoned with long sentences. Poot in many ways is the "sole survivor", and the foil to the heavy casualties suffered particularly by Barksdale's organization. This is despite the fact that he survives being shot at three times, more times than any other character except Omar Little. Poot distinguishes himself from the other two remaining survivors, Slim Charles and Dennis "Cutty" Wise, as the only low-level player who is able to completely move away from drug trade after the organization's collapse.
