You know, film is the ultimate goal in an actor's career. I mean, I still love TV. I have my feet firmly stamped in it. But my opportunities have been bigger and better.

Television, for me, is a medium that I'm probably always going to be attached to, one way or another.

Actors tend to not know how their performances are going to actually be used. Even though the script says one thing, in the edit, it can be something else.

Are there differences between black actors’ opportunities and white actors’ opportunities? Yes, there are. It’s been said.

The audience loves it when you pay attention to details.

I was on a well-beaten path of actors - what we all call 'the Law and Order route'. I spent two years of auditioning for everything... and then 'The Wire' came up.

I tend to stay away from the comics.
