Cheers: Clark Johnson's High Wire Act

Clark Johnson, Brandon Young, Michelle Paress and Tom McCarthy in The Wire by Paul Schiraldi/HBO
Cheers to
The Wire for putting Clark Johnson back in front of the camera. The gruffly charming
Homicide: Life on the Street vet has spent the past few years directing episodes of
The Wire and
The Shield as well as movies like
S.W.A.T. HBO's brilliant urban drama gives Johnson the best role of his career as embattled Baltimore newspaperman Gus Haynes.
That's good news.
