Wood Harris spoke openly about his time filming “The Wire” during a recent sit-down with VladTV. He explained how the show didn’t take off until they were finished shooting it, and Harris added that he was surprised that it didn’t win an Emmy or other big awards.

When asked about his favorite memory from the show, Wood says he counts the day he was chosen to be on it, and then he went on to tell a crazy story about him and Idris finding a human baby bone while filming a scene. To hear more of what he had to say, including how race makes American actors have a built-in inferiority when compared to British actors, hit the above clip.
