Brooklyn's own Jamie Hector, who plays the cunning young drug kingpin Marlo Stanfield on The Wire, is the subject of a feature article in the Brooklyn Paper.

In addition to his powerful performance as Marlo, Hector also designs clothes for Royal Addiction, the boutique he opened in the borough in which he was raised. The chief similarity he sees between his childhood home and the one he inhabits on The Wire is the duality of "the love and the struggle" that are aspects of life in both areas.

When he's not acting or working at his shop, Hector is doing his own part to temper the difficulties of urban life with the support he felt growing up: he's working to build a non-profit after-school program in Brooklyn called Moving Mountains.
