The American TV series The Wire, which methodically dissected
America’s war with drugs, was an eye-opener for many. Shaun Ley
interviews Wendell Pierce, whose role as Detective Bunk Moreland
brought him international attention. Now he’s on stage in London
as the protagonist in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman.
But it was Hurricane Katrina that defined him, when he rolled up
his own sleeves when his childhood home was smashed. After his
city’s darkest hour, when help failed to come, did Wendell Pierce
fall out of love with America?
