“The Wire”

Via BuzzSugar and of course MeeVee, I suggest that everyone read this incredible profile of David Simon in The New Yorker, which explains the motivation behind his shows, and mentions that his next project might take him from Baltimore to New Orleans.

Great anecdote: “Once, a man pressed a package of heroin into the hands of Andre Royo, the actor who plays the sympathetic junkie and police informant Bubbles, saying, “Man, you need a fix more than I do.” Royo refers to that moment as his “street Oscar.””
