Bresha Webb and Jalen Rose discuss ‘The Wire’ and acting

Bresha Webb is a proud daughter of Baltimore, who grew up with big acting dreams. But she has mixed feelings when it comes to the city’s greatest contribution to television: “The Wire.”“A lot of the roles were cast out of my high school, the Baltimore School for the Arts. So I was just upset that I didn’t get a chance to be on it,” she told me on this week’s “Renaissance Man.”She said that her classmates and teachers were cast, but she was petite and, well, too “cute” to be considered for those gritty gangster and drug dealer roles.“I looked like I was 14 forever,” she said.

Billy Porter to Star in James Baldwin Biopic

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Billy Porter is preparing to portray the author and civil rights activist James Baldwin in an upcoming biopic. He will also co-write the untitled movie with Dan McCabe, which will be adapted from the 1994 book “James Baldwin: A Biography” by David Leeming. An emeritus professor of English at the University of Connecticut, Leeming was well versed in Baldwin as his friend of 25 years as well as his assistant. Porter says it has been a career-long dream to tell the story of Baldwin on film. Born in Harlem in 1924, Baldwin was a Black gay writer whose influential works include “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” “Notes of a Native Son” and “If Beale Street Could Talk.” In addition to writing, Baldwin fought for racial justice in the U.S. civil rights movement. In Leeming’s book, he’s described as a “complex, troubled, driven, and brilliant man” who has a “gift for compassion and love.”
