So both Rza AND Ghost had family out in Ohio back then? This is why I watch the show with the closed captioning on, so I can see who each actor is supposed to be playing.
Fun fact! I play character “WISE” Dennis cousin from Ohio. He was killed in 1997. My character was seen at the party in episode one ... in the gun store trying to buy a gun with a pizza card and also in the shootout with Dennis episode 1
Every actor does a great job playing their real-life counterparts from the Wu. But sun who plays *ODB Ason Unique aka Russell Jones* ?! He's SCARY like ODB! Bro channels all the humor, passion, genius, fearlessness and love of Ason, he would proud. Brooklynnnn ZOO!
This show is dope but I'm not guna lie, I don't like rza. I don't like the dude playing rza he's trying WAY too hard to sound like him it's cringey as fuck, and that man is clearly the main one behind the show, he's displaying that EGO in FULL. That's not even mentioning the fact all of Wu tang turned their backs on ODB , he was going against the powers that be and the entire wu literally turned around n let him ride by himself... to top it off, now they making him look like a big hot head in the show, when in reality ODB was actually very smart... I'm not feeling that shit but other than that stuff, it's dope.
RZA and his team did a great job casting these gentlemen. Dave East & TJ Atoms channeled Method Man and ODB so well. Julian looks so much like Divine lol it’s crazy. This casting was spot on! All of them are amazing actors. Loving the show
Damani looks a lot like U-God, I thought that was his son. The series is phenomenal, TJ Atoms kills it as ODB, Julian(forgot his name already) look like Divine.
Not with RZA. Lmfao like for 1 dude didn’t even have that strong of ah accent like how the dude did that was casting him. 2. He’s dark skin whilst the real RZA is not lmfao. Niqqa is literally brown skin like me.
I dont think they coulda got a better person to play Devine even if they tried . dude got it all the looks, the mannerisms. I cant say anything about him not similar
Man as a random fan that really just likes wu tags first album. I thought divine was a made for tv character to push the story through. I’m shocked to find out he was real
@@StevenTheGreat_ eehh Gza character is solid i dont think its az perfect though me personally. reakwon i would agree, even he said Rza said the 2nd episode gave him chills or w.e. i like Ghostface too and power but Devine for me i dont see who else they coulda got like that was flawless
I loved when rza was playing chess with his older self pointing out some stupid shit and outlooks he had..love that not biting the first money offer scenario than losing creative control of wu style or solos..brilliant story and I relate so well, I was a dumb ass back then..lol
Y'all need to watch interviews about the show. Rza picked every actor. It's his vision of how they was back in the day. I like the show as is. And I respect the Abbott
Yeah I disagree too, his voice is mad off. I was fine with him first season, though I didn’t think he was perfect. This season he sounds like a monotone robot. And the real RZA says ya mean like every couple sentences. I think the worst represented character is Ghostface. I think the dude playing him is a good actor, and he’s like able, but when I first started watching the show I did not think he was ghost till they called him by name. Raekwon, ODB, and Divine on the other hand is on another level. Meth is close but mostly with attitude abs mannerisms.
@@piffdr3393 Homeboy speaking like he f*cked around and got a head injury when he was squaring off with my boy Attila. He sound like the black Forrest Gump. “My mother always said, producing is like a box of chocolates. You take the isosceles triangle of the standard deviation, and it forms a group of like minded brothers who were once at odds like the Athenians and the Spartans in the land of Shaolin. They already had hip hop figured out all those ages ago with the calculation of the number Pi times the golden spiral.”
Fam there are two videos, this one is showing more recent pictures of the Clan and the other is showing the Clan from the 90s era. Check the description on the video.
@@emanidavis89 In the 1st season i think they casted because he does look similar but this season has been focusing more on the actors performing the actual songs so they got someone new to sound the part.
@@imo986 Nah, Joey explained that it was a contractual thing. He has a role in one of 50 Cent’s shows and they locked him in. Something that this show didn’t do.
TJ Killing His Role!! 🔥🔥🔥 He Having The Hardest Time 2, Cuz He Can Only Go Off Old Videos & What Ppl Tell Him! Everybody Else Got 2 At Least Holla At The Person
The brother who plays ODB is killing it! It’s like looking at the actual ODB… he’s doing a great job! Only problem I have is RZA voice… it seems too raspy, but nonetheless, awesome casting
Guy who plays divine looks like him, talks like him, even moves like him, overall he’s my favorite casting decision they hit that one right on the nail
An American Saga was great. I Bought both Wu-tang albums the day they released at HMV, oh those were the days. Anyone watch.... Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men? A MUST WATCH

Actors did… amazing portraying aneurisms as well as speech patterns within each character. Beautiful to see the growth from season 1 to 2 this shit is gonna be legendary and so are each of these actors!!!!ong twinnnnn!!!!!
Man Ghostface and RZA are prob the worst represented if you expecting it to be like the original dudes. RZA voice bro 🤣🤣🤣 and Ghost irl is kinda chubby faced while the actor mad skinny. Raekwon, ODB, and Divine on the other hand is on another level. Meth is close and believable but mostly with attitude and mannerisms and GZA is pretty decent. But as for Rae, Divine, and Dirty you would think it’s their sons if you didn’t know any better. Just my opinion.
Maybe you should redo this video with better more and younger pictures of the real life people they’re portraying. You also mixed up “Shurrie” as being the mother when it was that actor playing his sister.
Yeah bad design choices in this video.. showing older pictures doesn't help when they are the younger counterparts in the show. Maybe the younger pics for some aren't available
Shurrie is made up all 3 of his sisters into one person. RZA said he had 11 siblings but that’s to many to put into a show. Sophia is RZA sister who has a child with Ghostface
@@napalmdom I don’t think there is a real Shurrie. It says shurrie is a fictional character that is supposed to represent a mixture of his 11 siblings.
@@cerah472 I grew up with her I know the whole family the show didn't even show all the siblings do your research. yes SHERRI IS REAL SHE JUST AIN'T SOPHIA SHE IS ANOTHER SISTER SAME FAMILY U PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW MY HISTORY THEN YOU KNOW THE VALIDITY.
Everything from their look, hair, jewelry and outfits in the series are almost spot on depictions from real life. You should've found the pictures of them at those times back then and put the pictures beside each other.
Divine also appears in protect your neck video if you want to see earlier pictures. He is in the crowd and before ODB's verse he jumps in woth rza and says you best protect your neck

They hit the lottery when they cast Dave East as Method, dead on.
I definitely agree
don't think they could've got anyone better, the looks and voice are more than passable
Right
There’s some scenes where if you close your eyes the voice is dead on
It’s crazy how they don’t look shit alike but at the same time they’re twins lol
Fun fact! I play character “WISE” Dennis cousin from Ohio. He was killed in 1997. My character was seen at the party in episode one ... in the gun store trying to buy a gun with a pizza card and also in the shootout with Dennis episode 1
That's whats up!! I'm going to go back and look for you on those parts! Have you been in the acting game long?
Oh I see the clip on your page!! Big shot out bro!!!
Damn bro that's crazy congratulations howd you get the role G
I'll be damn 💯👐
Word that’s you?
I have to give TJ Atoms the most props because he never met ODB but has him done to an art.
His son tried out but couldn’t act
Facts!!
he is ODB's son
He's doing a great job playing odb
He killed it
Every actor does a great job playing their real-life counterparts from the Wu. But sun who plays *ODB Ason Unique aka Russell Jones* ?! He's SCARY like ODB! Bro channels all the humor, passion, genius, fearlessness and love of Ason, he would proud. Brooklynnnn ZOO!
That's his son
@@Ssfarryder85 that's not his son, TJ Atoms is the actor that plays ol dirty..
@@jerryalexander8803 my you're right. He looks like his son
Raekwon's actor us the most similiar even RZA said so
@@logana1999 yea but I say odb
TJ Atoms needs to win something for his acting on this show for real. It's like watching the ghost of ODB on TV, shit is kinda spooky.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ok
Agree. And (I believe) the only one who wasn’t able to meet with their character to learn more about them.
This show is dope but I'm not guna lie, I don't like rza.

U god's son plays a jamaican emcee in season 1.

@@antwonkole6642 I think in season 3 he tones down the accent.
I know odb’s son felt slighted that he didn’t get that role but tj really got it! That boy actin actin.
His son auditioned but he wasn’t a good enough actor….I guess it’s a difference between being able to mimic and actually being on a set
He didn’t wanna go to acting school, and that’s what they wanted him to do for the role.
I'd like to see how ghostface brothers actually look

Lol did he tell Ashton to talk like that this season ? Lol cause he sounds hilarious
I think they did a good job casting but Dave East, Shameik and T.J are hands down the best ones. They are killing their roles.
And GZA Too
Divine is scary fking accurate 🤯
💯 lol
i was wondering if divine was a such a pretty boy in real life. now i know 😁
I get that he doesn't look much like RZA but you get used to it in the show because the actor playing him captures his essence really really well
I disagree but opinions

Fam there are two videos, this one is showing more recent pictures of the Clan and the other is showing the Clan from the 90s era. Check the description on the video.
The casting was amazing, the actor that plays Raekwon looks and sounds just like him
Except Raekwon much fatter IRL
The only thing that’s missing with me is Ashton Sanders accent he’s using when portraying RZA….it like some strange British/NY mash up
I said the same thing , but almost sound like Dmx. It throws me off a little.
But Back in the days the Rza use to talk like that only as time went by he switched it up
Shameik as Raekwon is dope...see what I did there? Him being from Atlanta and having all of Rae's New York mannerisms down is impeccable.
Respectfully it has nothing to do with where he’s from bro just a tremendous actor
@@ericvoronoff6040 Exactly
I still dont see how they got ol boy for RZA
Casting is on point! The actors carry the essence of the WU greatly.
love how the actors look nearly identical to the real
Except RZA
i think they missed the mark with RZA's actor, hes a good actor, just doesnt favor him at all, and in season 2 decided to change the way he talked 🤔
He became the abbot to quick in the show
Right! I absolutely love this show, but RZA (Ashton) voice irritates TF out of me now. I'm glad that someone else pointed it out as well
Thought I was the only Mf who notice the voice is annoying asl
Agree with everything you said. Sitting here like why bruh talking like that.
Lmaoooo I thought I was Tripping. He sounds like a robot. Sounds like when the movie is originally in Chinese and you switch the audio to English
Didn’t even realize the real Power was in Belly
Why not show the wu when they were young so we could get the full effect of the comparison . But other than that good video.
Your suggestion = Completed! Thanks
T.j atom who plays ODB that guys acting is insane. It's like I'm watching the real odb it's insane.
They chose the right person for divine. Are we sure he isn’t divine’s son irl?
right? they even have the same nose
Word!
Haha the verdict is still out !!!
Needed this season 1 it was very confusing tryna guess who’s who especially since they weren’t using their stage names 🤦🏾♂️ thank you for this!
The actors look more like the 1993 Wu tang clan which I’m sure is the point
New vid with 90s era Wu Tang is up and running now! appreciate ya!
Damani Sease look like he could be U-God’s son.
Wait until you see the 90s version of Wu Tang we're about to post a video of, he looks more like a twin brother
Latest episode we finally see Masta Killa lol
Was he the dude bobbing his head when Wu Tang was preforming?
He appeared earlier arguing with the Hebrew Israelites.
He was shown at the end of season 1. Then again this season..
Inspectah Deck was played by Joey Badass on the first season then was recast for the second.
Ima assume it’s because he got casted as Unique in Raising Kanan but I could be completely wrong

This shows you it take skill to act! Rizza looks nothing like the real one but had the chops for it
The brother who plays ODB is killing it! It’s like looking at the actual ODB… he’s doing a great job!
Only problem I have is RZA voice… it seems too raspy, but nonetheless, awesome casting
Yeah, he sounds like DMX
Damn, if I knew of any auditions of this project before hand I would of killed the role for Ghostface
Guy who plays divine looks like him, talks like him, even moves like him, overall he’s my favorite casting decision they hit that one right on the nail
RZA said Sherrie was a composite of all of his sisters
Dave east did an amazing job portraying method
The only actor I have a problem with is dude they picked to play Rza He's not even close
I'm thinking it's because they wanted a more established actor playing the main role. But it is kinda weird he looks nothing like him
I may be mistaken but I believe Rza was a big fan of him. He explained it on the Breakfast Club interview awhile back
And sounds more like dmx 😬
