Yeah, I Know, Any Time You Hear

I Lived In America For A Long Time Before I Started Working As An Actor. Some Actors Show Up On Set And Have Never Done An American Accent Before, So They Rely On A Slew Of Technical Mechanisms. Part Of What Makes An Accent Is Understanding Why People Speak That Way - You Have To Understand The Culture.

I'd Rather A Young Black Actor Read About Success As Opposed To How Tough It Was. I Get These Roles Because I Can Act And That's It. Hopefully That's It.

I Think 'the Wire' Really Is Relatable. It Reflects An Ongoing Issue Across America, About Inaccuracies In Major Cities Between Rich And The Poor And Some Of The Things That Go On Behind The Red Tape Of Council And Government Bodies.

The Less I Talk About Being Black, The Better.

I Knew That If I Wanted To Be All I Could Be, I Would Have To Go To The Us. It Took Three Years To Get The Accent Right.
