Talk:Avon Barksdale

His fate
I'm so curious to read this as I wonder whatever happened to him as he seems to be persona non grata on the show. I'm worried to read it though in the event that some future information is in there that I'll find out. Quadzilla99 15:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

should avon occupation be a drug lord seing it as how he was dependant on many suppliers while incarcarated the first time in season two shouldnt it be more of a kingpin

Removed the 'Last Appearance' section as it has been confirmed that Wood Harris will be returning as Avon Barksdale in at least one episode of Season Five of The Wire in 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.15.205 (talk) 07:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Some issues of substantiation
Do we really know that his father is Butch Stanford? As far as I can remember, all we know about Butch Stanford is that he is grandfather to D'Angelo Barksdale, which could very well mean that Stanford was father to D'Angelo's father, and not Brianna (and Avon). Also, how do we know that Avon learned the game from his dad? I don't recall that ever being said. And how do we know the gang war was in 1999? TheShyUnique

Butchie mentions to Omar that Avon's father "was pain evil". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.252.177 (talk) 17:11, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
