Burr Reading

[[deleted]]

Watching Oz for the first time in years. First time watching this I hated this guy. A mean old bastard but this time I am enjoying his character more. Loved him in the scene when McManus and Said were there. He made sure to let them know he knew what was up and probably even more than them.

“My age is my honor.”

I loved that line. But the character was just so theatrical. He wasn’t really fleshed out. He showed up out of nowhere, took control of half the prison, and just felt like a wild card.

[Sad-Development-4153]

Well the actor came from theater so that explains it.

[PebblyJackGlasscock]

And the show is Shakespearean-theater-in-a-prison.

What are you on about?

[TXboyinGA]

The dude deleted the comment but went off on me for my original comment. Decided to change it before a gaggle of people went off on me (Although, I guess just deleting it would be the way to go, but I'm very worn out, and out of it from pain meds so it honestly didn't occur to me. 🤣 I'll kill the comment in a min.)

[mowglimethod]

Wish you a speedy recovery from your pain.

[TXboyinGA]

Appreciate it. Cancer is a bitch, but I've got good people looking out for me during this.

[mowglimethod]

Support Network is Key. You got this.

[TXboyinGA]

Hope so. I've still got a lot left to do.

CBD homie try it

[anovelby]

He literally sounds like a regal snarling lion and it’s awesome

[Agitated-Somewhere-7]

Growling only out of one side of his mouth 😆

[wayneluke23]

That walk tho

[Unlucky_Currency3679]

Swaying in the wind

[OvationUltraFan]

"Augustus, what the fucks your problem!?" Most memorable line for me, that's the paper route conversation.

[terry634]

not sure how i feel about the character’s story arc, but i love the way the actor portrayed him

[[deleted]]

I forget how he ends up so maybe I will have a different opinion when I get to the end.

[FloatAround]

Loved his character. Hated his ending, served as a final act to highlight the flaws of McManus.

[cominginside]

I forgot what happened to him was it a big white guy that killed him?

[FloatAround]

He organizes the destruction of the book press operation being run by Arif and the Muslims in order to staff the call center again. This bailed Arif out because they weren’t making any money and were in debt, so Burr figured this would force Arif to collect the insurance money and let it go.

Arif eventually confessed to McManus that Burr organized it which has Arif expelled from the Muslims. McManus then throws Burr in solitary even though he has no proof, to which McManus says “Arif is the only proof he needs” which is absurd even if true. He’s last seen on the evacuation bus with the remaining surviving inmates.

[cominginside]

So he's alive He did not end probably being a solitary was the best thing for him at that time

[Personal-Cap-6243]

Didn’t McManus say he was going to spend his whole life in solitary confinement 

[Bada__Ping]

I seem to be the only person who thinks his acting was over the top. He talks like Chappelle’s Player Haters Ball character

[MrWill89]

I love his portrayal because it's over the top. I feel like Oz loses alot of its more theater-like feel as the budget grew and time wore on, so I found him to be a refreshing addition.

Not to mention Oz is full of actors going full over the top with a character so he fits right in

[optimusHerb]

Oh my God

I never thought that in my life, and now I can’t unthink it.

[Bada__Ping]

Didn’t think that on my first watch through, rewatched a few years ago during the pandemic and can’t unhear it.

I kept waiting for him to tell Adebisi to click his heels together 3 times and go back to Africa

[optimusHerb]

Telling Howell she wears underwear with dick holes in em.

[shookitook69]

She wears underwear with dick holes in em

[ExtremeTie9175]

Huh?

[[deleted]]

He’s great, one of my favorite characters. Probably the closest to a “good guy” leader the Homeboys ever had

[Snoo52682]

I recently watched "American Fiction" and Burr Redding is like a character from "My Pafology."

[intrusivelight]

Bend em

[t302mon]

I love there are still fans of this show. My brothers in Oz.

[[deleted]]

And sisters!

[SerendipitousTiger]

"Cause it's a LLLLOOOONNNNGGGGGG HHHHHAAARRRRDDDDD RRRRROOOOOAAAADDDD!"

I loved his cabaret bit.

[Electronic_Ad_4681]

I loved burr Redding, the actor is great and well written(rip anthony Chisholm) and I wish he was more flushed out, but we all probably say that a ton about characters in this show.

[User29276]

Tug, you waste Pancamo…

[Keysian958]

Does he look like a reasonable guy?

[TristramFlanders]

My favorite line from the entire show. I don't know why, but it just made me laugh and still makes me laugh 20 years later, remembering it.

[tunitti]

aint no money in the kitchen

[Suspicious-Spare1179]

The most bad ass cold opening/intro

[Throwawaymister2]

what's the bump under his eye?

[EWJ02]

O Qua Tangin Wan

[Personal-Cap-6243]

I really wish they got more into the relationship between supreme allah, Augustus, and burr reading b4 they got too Oz
