The cast is made up of actors who are not very well-known, as well as recurring guests who are famous. In an interview, David Simon said the show is ‘…really about the American city, and about how we live together. It’s about how institutions have an effect on individuals. Whether one is a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer… all are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution to which they are committed.’ The show is best-known for a realistic portrayal of urban life, its literary themes, and accurate exploration of politics and society. At the time of airing, the series only received average reviews. Now, it is considered one of the most excellent television series of all time.
Having my ongoing research into the human condition completely subsidized and funded is reward enough for me. I would honestly do it for free, if I had another means of income… ? https://t.co/G622qNwoHe

Quotes
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | My greatest desire as an actor is to keep people guessing and not do anything close to what I did last time. |
| 2 | I’m a dad and a husband, and so the things that I love to do are all geared around my family. |
| 3 | I lived in Red Hook, Brooklyn, for about 10 years, and then we moved out to Jersey City after my wife and I bought a house up in the Catskills. I miss Brooklyn, but the commute to the Catskills is about 45 minutes shorter. |
| 4 | If there is a reason I’m able to make unsympathetic characters human, it’s because it’s my desire to find what drives the unsympathetic behavior. Almost always at the bottom of it is some deep insecurity. Putting your finger on what each individual’s particular insecurity is goes a long way to fleshing that person out. |
| 5 | I have a tendency, just because I’m an ambitious person, to get impatient with things and want them to be moving faster then they are. |
| 6 | It’s great to work in film and TV, and I love it, but there’s nothing that can replace that instantaneous storytelling you get in theater. |
| 7 | I got nominated for a Tony in my Broadway debut, which was fascinating and thrilling and sort of unbelievable all at the same time. |
| 8 | Acting is a hard way to make a living, and there’s a kind of dark, somewhat seedy side to the whole aspect of fame and celebrity that’s not really something I would want for my child – or want him to want, if that makes any sense. |
| 9 | I do want to play characters that have redeeming qualities, that are likable, for sure, and I have in the past, and I will again. |
