My main goal, starting out as a young actor, was to carry the reins that Pac left off and to reach the depths as an actor that I know he would have reached had he still been here with us.

Music is always a part of my characters' make-up.

Doing something that warrants the attention of the President of the United States is super-cool.

My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.

I don't believe in typecasting. Just because all my characters may come from the other side of the tracks doesn't mean they are all the same. You don't stereotype people and generalize people, everyone's different.

I know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.

The Wire' is very realistic and based on real events.
