Everyone knows Wood Harris, he played in some of our favorite movies. Wood Harris born Sherwin David Harris was born in Chicago, IL who graduated from Northern Illinois and continued his education at New York University, which he finshed and recieved his Master Of Arts degree. We all may know him from Above The Rim, The Wire which he portrayed Avon Barksdale and Paid In Full in which he portrayed Ace a true story about three Harlem drug kingpins. As for me I enjoyed watching him in all those movies, I have two movies in particular where I think he took acting to another level. Those movies are; Remember The Titans and Jimi Hendrix. These two movies to me, had him outside of his charcter and he nailed it. Speaking of historical roles he will be playing Nate "Sweetwater" Clifton who was the first black player in the NBA. The movie is supposed to be released sometime in 2009 I can't wait to see this movie. Speaking of a Chicago native Wood Harris was in Common's (another Chiacgo native) Testify video along with his older brother Steve Harris who played in Tyler Perry's Diary Of A Mad Black Woman. Wood Harris is a great actor he really play his roles but takes it to another level where it can't be matched, be on the lookout for the upcoming film Sweetwater and I know many more to come.
