I desperately want to do this one, but I have one season left and you have (deceased, etc.) spoilers here. I'll be back.

Pretty sure your figures are wrong. Mcnulty wasn't in a bunch of the episodes of season 4, and I'm guessing that no one was in as many episodes as mcnulty.

According to Wikipedia, some actors are credited with appearing in episodes even if they didn't (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugees_%28The_Wire%29), I guess that's why some of the numbers seem wrong. Good quiz, I was trying for ages to remember Colicchio's name, I'm sure it's only mentioned a couple times.

Yeah....when the actor was on the regular cast (ie in the opening credits as opposed to being a guest star), they got credit for the episode whether the character actually appeared or not.

Actually, I think Daniels is in more episodes than McNulty, on account of the latter's being almost completely cut out of the plot of season 4. Regardless, like everyone else said, these are credited appearances, not actual ones.
