I Graduated In '94 From Yale And

In Drama School, My Greatest Strength Was My Range. So My Early Career Was Like That: I Played All Kinds Of Different Characters.

When I Was Working On The Wire With The Other Actors, Scene After Scene After Scene, I Felt Like We Were Singing Together. We Were Dancing Together. I'm Like, "this Is The Best Ensemble I've Ever Worked With. I'm Working With These Cats? Holy Mackerel, This Is Heaven."

I Did An Off-broadway Show That Was A Comedy Written By Ann Meara. We Were Like A Family, And We Did That Show For A Year. On Oz, I Did Feel Like The Cast Members Were Friends And There Was A Lot Of Bonding. That Said, There Was A Lot Of Testosterone. Once Again, It Was Full Of Really Intense Theater Actors With This Writing That Was Really Intricate And Subtle.

What's Interesting Is, Most Of The People Who Are Fans Of The The Wire Who Black People Or Cops... Most Of The People In The Industry Are The Crew: Writers, Actors And Directors. And So They Understand What It Is That We Do, So They Think, "wow, What A Incredible Group Of Amazing Actors." It's Funny, I Think There Are A Couple Of Reasons Why We Have Never Gotten Any Nomination For Anything Except For Writing.

I’m Interested Not Just In Projects That I’ll Be Starring In, But Producing Film And Tv That’s Really Quality And Great For Adults; And When I Say Great For Adults, It Doesn’t Mean Without Humor, Because I’m Also Interested In Doing Comedy.
