Wendell Pierce

We do that during the course of the regular television season from September to March.

And now while I'm doing that, I was planning out Othello for as soon as we got finished to do that, to come to Washington, D.C.

and do Othello here.

And then Raisin Canin, we had already shot that prior to last year.

It was been in the can for like a year.

So it's all fortunate that they're all coming out at the same time.

So it seems like I'm doing them at the same time.

But I break – but, you know, all these jobs, an actor's life is in – well, I've discovered they're kind of in quarters of the year, you know, first, second, third, fourth quarter.

And that's how I think of –

my planning because we work in three month periods you know a play in three months you know a full season of television is maybe six months so and a film is three months so you're constantly planning and it's constantly changing but I'm a journeyman actor

And some people say I shouldn't say that, but I actually embrace that.

That's something that I wear with pride.

I love to call myself a journeyman.

Some people think so.

They say, oh, Wendell, you shouldn't say that, man.

You know, you've established yourself in the industry as someone significant.

You know, I guess people are thinking of some star system or whatever.

And I said, you know, there's the joke that we have as actors of the five stages of your career.

There's who is Wendell Pierce?

Get me Wendell Pierce.
