Video After The Jump
The character Felicia "Snoop" Pearson portrayed on HBO's hit series The Wire wasn't too far off from her past reality. Born and raised in Baltimore where the show took place, Pearson continues to give back to her community by hosting block parties that benefit up and coming artists and children from the area. Had it not been for the show, Snoop believes the streets would have made an example of her. "Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I'd probably be dead or in jail," she admits in this moving exclusive.
Being from Baltimore, Snoop had ties to many - even Freddie Gray, the man whose death by police incited riots and protests across the nation. Though she only saw him in passing, Pearson remembers him as "a cool person" who'd joke around whenever they saw one another. Watch as the actress recalls the day she found out of his death and more below.
