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:

According to the Marketplace radio program, in December, 2011, he opened Sterling Express, the first in a chain of grocery stores selling fresh produce and other staples in his hometown of New Orleans. See more »
