**Spoilers for all 5 seasons of The Wire - proceed with caution**
We were lucky enough to speak with Wendell Pierce aka "The Bunk" about his time before, during and after The Wire. We chat about how he first got the part of Bunk Moreland, his favourite scenes and season and what he initially thought of the show after watching the first episodes!
Wendell talks candidly about his relationship with Dominic West and how they bounced off each other from the start through to, his regrets and the moment that he nearly quit the show.
