    Deserves so much more notoriety... The Wire & Paid In Full are both masterpieces and his acting in both is spot on.

    Now knowing that he's from Chicago and realizing the roles he's played in the past, he's easily one of my favorite actors.

    Wood is very underrated, never made headlines, always proved he was well seasoned for movies and sitcoms. A very stable element in Hollywood, wood is stamped for approval. A real inspiration

    Above the rim was more iconic for me as I was 15 year old guy beginning my own crazy life in Chicago, and I went and saw it. As for Paid in full I saw it after I was grown and had become a veteran that survived the hood and transcended the street life.

    Great interview. Shame Wood Harris is not seen around too much in the big screens like a Will Smith or Jamie Foxx etc. He's been doing his thing for 20+ years and proven himself in every role he gets. Much respect to you Mr Wood Harris.

    LOVE Wood Harris and his brother Steve Harris. Both are great actors and very under rated!

    Love the fact that he spoke on his childhood & also how growing up around a bunch of women can sometimes affect the emotional of lil boys but he was blessed to have his father & his big brother! I genuinely respect Mr Harris He’s very wise and I would definitely expose my 3 sons to him as an example no matter how you came up you can still rise to top!

    This brother has his MFA from NYU. That's what I'm talking about, very elite. This is a focused brother.

    Wood Harris is articulate, intelligent, deep, necessary. Too deep for Vlad.

    Wood Harris is phenomenal. He has always been one of my top 5 actors and arguably my favorite. Never knew he was from my city but now I understand why I prefer his style so much.

    I didn't even know he was from Chicago. I thought he was like from New York or something.
