Personal Quote:

The great thing about shooting [The Wire] in Baltimore was we were each other's best company. We worked hard, long hours, but we partied hard, too, man. One bar made the mistake of having celebrity-bartender night. It happened one time, and one time only! That's all I need to say! See more »

Trivia:

Both the part of Antoine Batiste on "Treme" and the part of Owen Thoreau, Jr., on "Men of a Certain Age" were created with him in mind. He was offered both parts around the same time but had to choose "Treme" since it was about New Orleans, his hometown. See more »
