Don't Be A Victim; If

I Was Coming From A Theater Background. I Had An Obsession With Classic Film And Cool, Interesting, Intelligent Television. I Didn't Really Understand The Way The Mainstream Television Industry Worked. I Just Thought "the Wire Is So Good That It's Going To Be A Huge Hit, And We'll Get Awards Up The Yin-yang Forever." That's What I Thought!

Nothing Will Ever Top 'the Wire.' It Was Historical. It Was Black Cinema.

If You're Going To Come At Me, Come At Me Respectfully, And I Will Respond Respectfully.

I Graduated In '94 From Yale And New York Undercover Was My First Gig On Tv. I Was Really All Over The Place With Roles, Which Is What I Wanted To Do.

You Don't See A Lot Of Black Rock Stars. The Music Industry Tends To Be Segregated Stylistically. It's Hard For A Black Artist To Cross Over To Rock Music.
