Episode 544 - Andre Royo

You may know Andre Royo as Bubbles from The Wire. For Andre that’s both a blessing and a curse. He describes the near-breakdown he had while playing the sympathetic Baltimore street junkie and how the role forever changed his career. Also, Andre and Marc compare life on the Lower East Side in the mid-90s with their current shared neighborhood in gentrified LA.
