Wood Harris has spent over thirty years moving between projects with a consistency that doesn't always get its due. The Chicago West Side native got his start in Above the Rim alongside Tupac Shakur in 1994, held his own in Remember the Titans opposite Denzel Washington in 2000, and then landed the role that defined him: Avon Barksdale in The Wire, the Baltimore drug kingpin whose controlled, deliberate menace became one of the defining performances of the HBO era. He's been alongside Michael B. Jordan through all three Creed films as trainer Tony "Little Duke" Burton.
