Surrounded By Idiots - #022 - SANDI McCREE

Sandi McCree (The Wire, The New Edition Story, The Bobby Brown Story) and I reconnect since shooting The Wire almost 18 years ago. We discuss her experiences as a substitute teacher, which gave her a character model for her role as De'Londa as well as highlighting the realities some of her students would face. We dive into her background in the arts as well as her playing my mom in an episode of Cold Case. The conversation also touches on our experiences with streaming platforms, the audition process for her role on The Wire and the importance of support within the industry. "I don't want to be a victim, I don't want to bring each other down. We can lift each other up, we can make sh*t happen." - Sandi McCree --------------------------- S.B.I Socials: SHOP SBI STORE HERE : https://sbimerch.myshopify.com/ Follow M A E S T R O https://www.instagram.com/MAESTRO/ https://www.instagram.com/sbipodcast https://www.tiktok.com/maestroharrell https://twitter.com/maestroharrell Follow Sandi McCree https://www.instagram.com/sandimccree https://twitter.com/sandimccree
