Andre joins Genevieve to reminisce about playing much-loved character Bubbles in one of the best TV dramas of all time, The Wire.
He reveals why his mum was livid when he first got the part, talks about the time Mark Wahlberg mistook him for a real drug addict - and explains how Samuel L Jackson helped him through a bleak time.
Andre also chats about trying to maintain a better work/life balance, his love of theatre, explains why he doesn't feel like he's "made it" yet - and reveals how President Obama once fanboyed him.
