Meanwhile, the actor also says he was left feeling "panicked" when he found himself without a job after his character - Stringer Bell in the TV show "The Wire" - was killed off after only three seasons.
"But, y'know, from the day I decided I wanted to be an actor, which was probably (when I was) 13-and-a-half years old in a drama class, I've never, ever worried about if I'm going to get there - I've just got there.
