My dancing came about as a way to be cool, actually. I knew early on that I was not a street kid. I didn't have the moxie, what it took to run the streets with the dudes that I grew up wanting to emulate. But I had a huge need to be accepted, so I found that I could be the party king. I did drugs really well, and I partied really well.
Michael K. Williams

Michael K. Williams
I come to work on time. I focus on my job. I bust my scenes out and everything else kind of happens from there.
