MONDO EXTRAS

KD: So would a lot of people. So will we see more of you on Season 5?

CA: [long pause ] I -- well -- I guess I can't answer that. [pause] I know when to shut up. I can just see David looking at me in the back of my head.

KD: How is he to work with? Is he hands-on?

CA: David Simon is hands-on, but not in a micromanaging sense of the word. He was hands-on, but with the most amount of easygoing-ness one could handle. He was a joy to be around, and Ed Burns, too. David with his journalism background and Ed with [his] law-enforcement background made the perfect team. These guys are great. No one in Hollywood is ever going say, "Oh, those guys are horrible to work with" about anyone, but if someone is terrible to work with, I wouldn't say nice things. They were great to be around, and great to work with. Many times I would have questions, and I could not have had a greater response. There were always so willing to help. They were in it for the project.

KD: Who's your favorite character?

CA: Other than myself? I really like Marlo. Jamie does such a great job with his character. He's got the look that Sergei has, where he doesn't have to say anything. He knows what he can do and everyone around him knows what he can do. I love my character most, and most actors and actresses would say that about their characters. It adds something different, the violent aspect. It just adds something more. If it wasn't me? Marlo, and Andre Royo's Bubbles. That man is amazing.

KD: Did you get to work with him at all?
