(and Snot Boogie actor). He’s also worked on The Corner, We Own This City, House of Cards, VEEP, Swagger and more. But his start came from hanging around the set of “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Here’s a few paragraphs
filming this was so emotional this night. as in every death scene we filmed i think Bodie and Wallace was the hardest. Wallace, Bodie, Stringer for myself personally.
Scrolling through old pics and found this gem. The orange couch from the pit in front of Orlando’s. Don’t know who these guys are or where I got the pic.

My mans coached Lebron as a child, taught New Edition how to sing, sold crack with money making Mitch, played a drug kingpin on the wire, played ball with Tupac, trained Creed to box, and played for the Titans under Denzel Washington. Wood Harris is one of the greatest. 💐
man i remember this day like it was yesterday, we stood on Lexington st infront if the building they was filming in .. one of the 1st ppl I met on set .. i think Bebe took this photo
Awww….man. Look what I found. Pretty sure this was taken during filming of S4 Ep5 “Alliances,” (the clothes match) although Bug wasn’t in that episode. Looks like they were close off camera too.
Julito, D. Watkins, Nate & DeJuan…Thanks so much for everything. D. Watkins is probably the funniest dude I’ve ever met. About to start reading his book “The Cook Up: A Crack Rock Memoir” on the plane ride back to Detroit. Farewell, Baltimore.

Early on in filming, set security chased Andre Royo after he grabbed a snack from the crew’s food table. They thought he was a junkie that wandered in off the street.

@HomeOfTheWire
I have a question for you. I’ve seen vids of you (which I absolutely love) in classrooms working with kids. Are you a teacher or a teaching assistant? How does that work when you have to be on a set? Those vids are great! Wish you’d put some on here.
Happy Birthday Meat, after being told i had to join the union. Meat took me & after the board started to question me joining, Meat stood up & spoke for me. !! A real true stand up Guy!
