Wood Harris Interview

How do you feel about The Wire being one of the most popular series of all time?
Wood Harris:“It’s like I’m from a different era in a sense. It’s like actors now-a-days is about likes [social media]. But, I’m from that era where you needed to show up with talent.
And if you didn’t have talent then you probably wouldn’t make it. Now you can make it without talent. You can make it with ass shots. You can go pro with like…a butt. Store bought ass can take you to the top.”
Harris went on to let me know that he was not interested in store bought butts, he simply stated, “I only eat organic!”  
Were you offered a plethora of “benefits” from women during the peak of popularity for the Wire?
Wood Harris:“I tell you what was interesting. On The Wire, we had a strip club on set that was a real strip club that me and Stringer Bell [Idris Elba] ran.  And there was real strippers in it.
Yes! That was a real strip club with real strippers! Just wildness in the air. It was a very invigorated world. I didn’t live in Baltimore at the time. Me and Idris also, commuted and sometimes we rode together. I lived in Jersey and he lived in New York and we went to Baltimore once a week and drove back together for the 3 or 4 days we had to work.”
Harris also explained how the camaraderie on the set of The Breaks reminded him of the vibe on the set of The Wire.
Wood Harris:“I love Idris. I love Mike, both the Mikes, Mike B. Jordan and Mike Williams. Hasan, all those guys. I love the people in the Breaks. It’s just like that chemistry becomes something more special because everybody that’s plugged in has more energy and it’s not always like that.
The Breaks does have that Wire-ness, because The Wire felt like that. You know we would be looking at scenes together, me and Idris and going through it, you know theres so much love there because there’s care about the outcome. You can be involved in a movie or television and people can show up just to do the work.
And you can’t be mad because people have their own process.  But, you might be a better artist though? My inner mission statement it different.  I’m not really there just to get the checks.  Although the checks are great though!”.
