Wendell Pierce isn’t doing a lot of acting during the pandemic, but he’s keeping busy. He’s spending more time with his 95-year-old father in New Orleans, he’s hosting radio shows on a local station he bought, and he’s helping to figure out the future of live theater. Wendell and Marc talk about his time on The Wire and the unique way he experienced that show. They also discuss what he learned playing Willy Loman last year and how Led Zeppelin and jazz helped him become a better actor.
