In this clip, actor Hassan Johson recalls the audition process for "The Devil's Own," starring Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt. The Brooklyn native then tells a story about the role that Bimmy from the Supreme Team played in the story. From there, Hassan looks back on the two years that followed, when he was cast in "Belly," "In Too Deep," and "Black and White." He reveals that he originally wanted to play the role of Tommy but that DMX was a much better fit for the role. He also states that Method Man gave the director, Hype Williams, extra incentive to make sure he was cast in the role of "Mark" in the classic film. As the interview moves along, Hassan talks about working with LL Cool, Nas, and Sticky Fingaz before sharing a story about hitting on Nia Long while they were cast mates. From there, Hassan revisits playing 'Wee-Bey' on "The Wire" and the classic meme that he inadvertently created while filming. Lastly, Hassan talks about the legacy of "The Wire" and calls it a top three show of all time, along with "Breaking Bad." He mentions the plethora of careers that the show helped launch, from actors like Michael K. Williams and Dominic West to Andre Royo and Wood Harris.

The Wire was a classic…the camera work when Stringer told Wee Bay they shot a cop but she was still alive and she might talk…those characters Wee Bay, Snoop, Chris, Stringer, Boodie, Omar, Avon…just a jewel of a show…Breaking Bad is also a brilliant show

One of my favorite characters from one of the greatest series of all time… I never even knew his real name… once Weebay showed up… that’s been his name (lol) 💚💚💚
Hassan must have made that same shocked look when Idris accent really came out 😂😂😂
It’s so crazy. I just watched the wire all the way through about a month ago and I screamed when I saw that the meme was from that show. This and the idris Elba meme😂😂
Very underrated Actor!
Him making that same face finding out Idris was British got me dead 🤣🤣🤣
Vlad says it’s his favorite or one of his favorite movies but ask him if he was the one that got stripped down. Way to go
Damn that was wee-bey for minute there 😂
The best shows ever are The Sopranos and The Wire
Met Hassan briefly at a club in E.O. NJ 2004ish good ppl 💯
That charm Hassan got on is sick!!
Dude seem cool as hell. Like we bey without the homicide
He can spin the block on Nia Long now 😂😂

The "Waaaazzzzzzuuuupppp" commercials were legendary. So were the "Real Amercian Heroes/Genius" commercials.
The wire, Belly and In too deep my favorite movies wit bro but definitely him being weebay is his legendary role..".you gonna tell on Avon and stringer...Nah lol"

The fact I'm watching Hassan and feel this slight fear in my stomach is testimony to his portrayal of Wee Bey. I keep having to mentally disassociate the actor from his performance. Amazing actor.

My top two tv shows ever: Breaking Bad and The Wire. I’ve stood solid on this for years and my mind cannot be changed.
The Supreme Team must’ve had their hands in everything involving the state of NY cause no matter who you talk to somehow Bimmy is always involved in it
Its crazy he was in Paid in Full… what scene was he in?? Him and Mekhi Phifer look so alike I wouldnt even be able to tell em apart

I liked Hassan's role in Entourage, haha
Wee Bay My nigga👊🏾✌🏾
They should recut Belly with the unrealeased scenes Edit: Nvm they never shot it
This is my Guy,he is nice in movies
I wish weebay had a longer story in the wire he a goat
Omg hearing someone from the wire sayin their number 1 show is breaking bad is so great to hear cuz i used to go back n forth between The Sopranos and The Wire for my top fave but when i saw Breaking Bad sopranos n wire had to be pushd to number 2 and 3 cuz Breaking Bad is the greatest piece of tv hands down

Mr. Hassan! If you ever read this! You’ve got to watch Better Call Saul. It did Breaking Bad justice! Vlad! Interview some characters from breaking bad. Better call Saul first. Let’s keep this up. I like this idea.
