GEORGE PELECANOS (WRITER/PRODUCER): It was like four in the morning on Howard Street, which is kind of desolate. Every place we shot was a little bit dangerous if you weren’t around security on set. So, I get off and I’m walking to my car down a dark alley and I hear somebody running behind me. I turn around, and it’s Idris. I say, “I just want you to know all this stuff is business. It’s just to make the show better, and that’s all I’m ever concerned about.” And we shook hands. He’s a really cool dude. When I got nominated for an Emmy for that episode, he sent me a bottle of nice Scotch.
Legit funny that Idris told Pelecanos it's just business
