Michael K. Williams interviewed on "Fresh Air"
The interview with Terry Gross was broadcast on Tuesday. It's a great interview. I found it riveting from start to finish. Didn't know that he was homeless for an entire year. At the end she asks him if Omar dies at the end of the season. Williams' response, "It's Baltimore baby!"
This link also lists other features they've done with previous Wire cast members. Clarke Johnson (Haynes) was interviewed on Monday and Jermaine Crawford two weeks ago.
It's pretty amazing how much attention NPR gives to the show. Somewhere in that place is someone who is a Wire fanatic.

Thanks for posting the interview. I really enjoyed it.
Terry Gross and her TV critic (can't remember his name right now) are huge Wire fans. She brings it up all the time.
I think the other interviews have been better than the Michael K. Williams one - but it might be that I want him to be Omar, not an actor.
The older Fresh Air interview with Ed Burns is really good.
