Wood Harris
Actor Wood Harris from the popular show The Wire will play the lead along side Lynn Collins in a new ABC cop drama pilot called The Mission.
Deadline reports that the show will be about the lives of two cops played by Harris and Collins and the ups and downs they face in their careers. Written by Jason Richman and directed by Michael Offer the show centers around Collins character (Oriana “Ori” Cloverfield) who left a job as a lawyer to become a cop.
Harris plays the role of Sgt. Frank Griffith aka Griff, the officer assigned to train Ori. Griffith is a seasoned cop whose uninspired approach to the job annoys Ori.
Along with playing Avon Barksdale in The Wire, Harris recently starred in the film Bladerunner 2049 and VH1’s The Breaks.
