Wendell Pierce: An actor's journey

[@DeshanHoward]

I'm glad they gave this man his flowers. He has represented his community at a high level both personally and professionally since day one. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@MrBeautiful2908]

One of the most talented unsung actors of all time

[@ginac5503]

Agreed 👍🏾💯

[@deurekag]

This man does so much outside of acting it’s CRAZY I LOVE HIS CONTRIBUTIONS

[@MAM-l8p]

Facts!!

[@tonydegiuseppe9484]

An ICONIC actor. I have NEVER been disappointed in his work.

[@HenriettaHudson-we4wv]

Me, neither!!!

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

Literally the comment I came to make! I've never been disappointed by ANYTHING I've seen him do ever. Not even slightly! The movie or show could be terrible, but his performance will never be a reason why!

[@Allie3613-i2z]

He is an excellent actor. He never disappoints. I would prefer to see him as the Lead Actor in movies and TV series.

[@debbiecooper1677]

his voice is wonderful

[@7Wallstreet]

I met him in IKEA 25 yrs. ago in Baltimore Co.; he was filming 'The Wire'. I interrupted his shopping, because I recognized him from several movies; he was appreciative of my knowledge of his work.

[@mrmartywaring]

When Wendell Pierce speaks, I listen.

[@Bringmethehorizondude]

This is going to sound weird; but I legit forget this man is an actor. He has the presence of a longtime friend. I see him on screen, I feel like I’m being visited by someone I just know, not a character from a show or movie. He just has it. Wonderful career that is only going to continue

[@vecarter569]

What a wonderful compliment to this outstanding actor! ❤

[@lamontdobson3318]

So underrated as an actor, Congratulations my brother.

[@CLB30ROX]

I could listen to him talk for HOURS 😍😍

[@cmcarter1449]

Grew up in my neighborhood. Best friends with my cousin. Remember him playing basketball in my Grandmothers backyard. Very proud of him.

[@Roverlandman]

Quality acting always resonates to the top. Bravo Nancy and CBS on airing this piece on Wendell Pierce.

[@DarkJustice1999]

Wendell is doing what he loves. At 61 he looks as good as he did 22 years ago when he was on The Wire. It’s way past time for him to get the recognition he deserves.

[@edwardhall184]

From “Get Yo Hands Out My Pocket” in Malcolm X to this moment… Wendell Price is truly a Actor of High Regard & Worth ✊🏽

[@LilAlpo1]

What about the scene with him & Lela Rochon in 'Waiting to Exhale' Lol ?

7 minutes just not enough to cover this Man’s Greatness. Thank you Sir for all your hard work.

[@theloftons8297]

"... I still have the fear, but now I have the courage". I love everything about Wendell Pierce.

[@Malvo6820]

Gotta love Wendell Pierce. He's a great actor and a great humanitarian. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@LeonardGalit]

What a meaningful story that this actor's father served his country, but didn't get the recognition he deserved. That didn't keep him from loving his country, even when racist America didn't love him back. He is a hero; God bless his soul.

[@johnjones3332]

That cognitive dissonance is wild. I served my country I. 2010. Experience horrible racism. This country is fake as hell

[@ShadavionGrant]

An accomplished actor that should already have an Oscar nomination. He came close in Burning Cane.

[@stevenpyron3406]

I was lucky enough to get to meet Mr. Pierce in a bar in New Orleans after the 2016 Sugar Bowl. Incredibly nice guy.

[@juliusa4583]

Mr. Pierce, What an inspiration. Keep mentoring, and leading by example to all the kids that inspire to be actors. Lastly, please stay on top of your health. Sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure. We need you around.

[@jeezy5270]

“ Bunk Moreland “ dude has been SO many great characters

This man is amazing.. I was so honored and privileged to work and Stand in for this man on Elsbeth for a couple of months.I learned so much from him. Wendell is THE REAL ONE. Thank you until we meet again

[@larrymarshall8900]

As Micheal and he also is in the movie Ray.

[@BerniPC]

More Nancy Giles and interviewers like her on CBS and other platforms! We need more of Wendell Pierce and other subjects and artists like him on all platforms. People of African descent built the wealth and culture of the world and Columbia University’s Professor Howard French has written extensively about this fact. The late Senegalese Professor Cheikh Anta Diop is also a seminal source on the global contributions of people of African descent.

[@MizzNee796]

One of THEE VERY BEST to ever do it! Trophies are not good enough for this man, he needs and deserves a Kennedy Honor!

[@HenriettaHudson-we4wv]

IKR??? Thank you!!!

The thumbnail scared me! I thought he had died. It’s just a nice interview and retrospective on his acting career. Whew! That’s a relief.

One of my favorites. When you see him on screen, it's like seeing an old friend. You know he'll be great. Many more years, good health!!

[@luciangirl6167]

My late partner and I saw Wendell in Death of a Salesman in London for my birthday. We met him as he left the theatre. Lovely memories 💖

[@markforan4812]

I envy you. I had seats in the center of Row C when Death of a Salesman was on Broadway. I came down with COVID the day before. I wanted to see that production specifically to see Wendell Pierce.

[@luciangirl6167]

@markforan4812 The show and Wendell's performance was a highlight of my birthday. Hope you get another chance to see him perform.🤞🏿
