    • Sometimes you have to say, "no. this is my space." if you're going to come at me, come at me respectfully, and i will respond respectfully.
    Sometimes My Space
    In drama school, my greatest strength was my range. so my early career was like that: i played all kinds of different characters.
    Drama School Character
    I graduated in '94 from yale and new york undercover was my first gig on tv. i was really all over the place with roles, which is what i wanted to do.
    It's funny, 90 percent of what i've done has been television, and i never really wanted to do it that much. i was really interested in film and theater. what's ironic is that when i started doing television, i did a bunch of amazing shows all in a row, starting with the corner.
    Ironic Done Film
    That's what david caruso said to me. we were talking about the whole emmy thing, and he said that one of the things about awards in this town is that a lot is about the drama - like the drama of the performance. and he said "your show, the wire, looks so real, it almost looks like a documentary. and people who aren't artists - a lot of people who vote for this stuff - don't get it."
    Real Drama Artist
    When i was working on the wire with the other actors, scene after scene after scene, i felt like we were singing together. we were dancing together. i'm like, "this is the best ensemble i've ever worked with. i'm working with these cats? holy mackerel, this is heaven."
    Cat Dancing Heaven

    Character Different
    I did an off-broadway show that was a comedy written by ann meara. we were like a family, and we did that show for a year. on oz, i did feel like the cast members were friends and there was a lot of bonding. that said, there was a lot of testosterone. once again, it was full of really intense theater actors with this writing that was really intricate and subtle.
    Writing Comedy Intense
    I started to realize, a lot of times if you go into your memory, your sense memory, you know more than you think you do, from having watched and listened.
    Memories Thinking Realizing
    From the time i became an actor my whole approach was to try to do as many different things as possible. it never occurred to me that i might be typecast.
    Trying Different Actors
    You don't see a lot of black rock stars. the music industry tends to be segregated stylistically. it's hard for a black artist to cross over to rock music.
    Stars Artist Rocks
    I’m interested not just in projects that i’ll be starring in, but producing film and tv that’s really quality and great for adults; and when i say great for adults, it doesn’t mean without humor, because i’m also interested in doing comedy.
    Mean Quality Adults
