Pretty fantastic roundtable about The Wire, including David Simon, Wendell “The Bunk” Pierce, Clarke “Freamon” Peters, Clark Johnson, Seth “Carver” Gilliam, and Richard Price.
The Museum of the Moving Image has a ton of talks and interviews with fascinating people. Here are a few others: PT Anderson & Daniel Day-Lewis, Brad Bird, Kenneth Branagh & Michael Caine (‘cause I love me some Michael Caine).
Interview with Clark Johnson. Johnson plays Augustus Haynes, city desk editor of the Baltimore Sun, on season 5 of The Wire.
He starred in Homicide: Life on the Street, as well as The Wire. I’m interested in watching some Homicide… I’m almost finished with David Simon’s book upon which the series was based, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets.
