Actors from ‘The Wire’ Push New Public Awareness Campaign

Actors from the hit HBO series, ‘The Wire’ have joined forces with the Justice Department in calling attention on drug abuse on children in families. Actors Sonja Sohn, (detective Kima Greggs), Wendell Pierce, (detective William “Bunk” Moreland) and Jim True-Frost (Roland Pryzbylewski) participated on a panel with discussion with Attorney General Eric Holder. In addition to speaking about drug abuse, Holder urged the creators of the HBO series to consider bringing another season back to television. He told the Washington Examiner, “Having looked at those clips again, I’m reminded how great that series was. I want to speak directly to Mr. Burns and Mr. Simon, do another season of The Wire. … I want another season, or a movie. I have a lot of power.” Burns and Simon are the show’s creator.
