Thomas "Herc" Hauk is a fictional character on the HBO drama The Wire played by actor Domenick Lombardozzi. The series introduces Herc as a detective in the Baltimore Police Department's Narcotics Unit, begrudgingly detailed to the initial Barksdale investigation. He is generally portrayed as encapsulating the failings of the contemporary Baltimore police officer: simple-minded, concerned with petty street arrests and minor drug charges, and priding himself and his colleagues on 'banging heads'. He is also partner and loyal friend to Ellis Carver, the two rarely being unpaired until later seasons. Following his promotion to Sergeant, he is dismissed from the force, subsequently finding employment as a private investigator for attorney - and invariant legal advisor for drug organisations -  Maurice Levy.
