Seth Gilliam is an American actor. He is best known for his portrayal of Baltimore-based police detective Ellis Carver on The Wire and of corrections officer Clayton Hughes on Oz. Seth Gilliam graduated from SUNY Purchase in 1990. Gilliam has had a number of recurring roles on television, including during the seventh season of The Cosby Show as Aaron Dexter, boyfriend of Erika Alexander's Pam, and as Alan Deaton on Teen Wolf. His most prominent role, however, has been on The Wire. In 2008, Gilliam attracted attention for criticising the way in which that show, despite its critical success, had been overlooked for Emmy nominations. He has also had a number of guest roles in other shows such as CSI: Miami, Nurse Jackie, Skins, and the The Good Wife. His feature film credits include playing Private Sugar Watkins in the 1997 action movie Starship Troopers and Sergeant Steven Altameyer in 1996's Courage Under Fire. Gilliam has also acted in the theatre, including playing Prince Edward in a 1993 production of Richard III opposite Denzel Washington in the title role, and as the lead himself in Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's 2010 production of Othello. He has stated that he prefers acting on the stage, "because it’s a lot more fun to do. There is instant communication with the audience. An actor can tell whether or not he or she is connecting with an audience or whether they understand what’s going on."

I love the 2nd gif set.

Chasing Fireflies · 08-02-2012, 08:20 AM

May I be added please?

I have to say that I'm really intrigued by his character and want to know how he came to be an advisor to the Hale family

aikakone · 08-02-2012, 10:31 AM

I would like to be added to the list. I'm really curious about Deaton's secrets, and we know that there are bound to be plenty of secrets!

Chasing Fireflies · 08-02-2012, 10:59 AM

I'm sure there are

I also want to know how he's related to the guidance counselor.

Natasha Romanoff · 08-02-2012, 11:21 AM

Add me please

he is the most mysterious character on the show

Chasing Fireflies · 08-02-2012, 01:21 PM

He is the most mysterious

And considering how many mysterious characters the show has that's saying something

And he seems like one of the most knowledgeable too

Makes him extra extra interesting

Add me!

Chasing Fireflies · 08-02-2012, 07:53 PM

I agree Katie, his knowledge does make him extra interesting.

I liked him before, but I think I really became interested in his character when he faced off with Peter in the vet clinic.

WonderlandGabby · 08-02-2012, 09:06 PM

Could I be added?
I really want to know what he is and how he knows all this stuff! But I fear we my never find out and it will be some long running joke or something

Endless Obsession ♥ · 08-03-2012, 02:49 PM

Add me! I love how he seems to know everything but he's not really involved.

**Simon Spier** · 08-03-2012, 03:39 PM

I like that we are sort of finding out more about him

Natasha Romanoff · 08-03-2012, 04:36 PM

I'm so intrigued by Ms. Morell(?) as well. She seems to know a lot more from her scene with Deaton.
