Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Lance Reddick: (On a possible movie of the television show, The Wire) As far as a movie goes, my understanding from part of an interview that Dominic West did recently, is that David's take on it is that he'd probably be inclined to do a prequel, if anything at all.
-
Lance Reddick: (About not watching Lost until after he was cast as Matthew Abaddon on the show) I was cast and I went back and did homework. I got the first two seasons and watched them on DVD and then, of course, I got hooked.
