This article is about the character from The Wire. For the musician, see Dramatis.
Stringer Bell

Gender Male
Occupation Drug kingpin/Developer
Russell "Stringer" Bell is a fictional character on the HBO drama The Wire, played by British actor Idris Elba. Bell served as drug kingpin Avon Barksdale's second in command, assuming direct control of the Barksdale Organization during Avon's imprisonment. Bell gets As in his economics classes at Baltimore City Community College and maintains a personal library, including a copy of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. He attempts to legitimize the Barksdale Organization by investing in housing properties and buying influence from politicians.

An intelligent planner and businessman in the drug-filled underworld of Baltimore, Bell is a close adviser to Barksdale and handles the economic decisions for the Barksdale crew. He is keen for the Barksdale outfit to act in a businesslike and professional manner, rather than appearing as mere thugs and gangsters and he often tries to temper Barksdale's bloodthirsty nature. Though not as vengeful as Barksdale, Bell is ruthless and completely devoted to his work, eliminating threats to the Barksdale Organization as soon as they appear

Aunque releyendo no me queda ahora claro. Mas bien creo que se trata de que Jim Finnerty aqui hizo de relevo o segundo en la linea de comando despues de (¿Fontana?)...Perdón, ya no estoy tan segura de si es una cosa o la otra, haría falta más contexto. Conviene esperar otras respuestas.

agree  patinba: La respuesta es correcta. Finnerty y Fontana son dos productores, pero la relación entre los dos se asemeja a la relación entre Stinger B y Avon B , según el creador de la serie.
