Catching up with The Wire cast
By Charreah Jackson
The Wire cast members Gbenga Akinnagbe, Corey Parker Robinson, Jamie Hector and Clarke Peters help promote the show’s new soundtrack The Wire: And All the Pieces Matter — Five Years of Music from The Wire at the HBO Shop in NYC.
“I didn’t go into this show thinking it was anything other than a job, but I came away with something much greater and fuller, and I am more understanding of what’s happening in politics in most inner cities in America," says Clarke Peters who plays Detective Lester Freamon. "I’ve come out feeling like an actor on a mission trying to tell a story that needs to be told.”
“It’s been an honor to work on this show and I’m walking away with some life-long relationships with the people I have worked with. We have created a great body of work and it’s been amazing watching us grow through five seasons," says Corey Parker Robinson who plays Detective Leandor Sydnor.
