‘Dope Thief’ Star Brian Tyree Henry Opens Up About Enduring Loss And Channeling Love: “Grief Is An Ongoing Thing”


'Dope Thief's Brian Tyree Henry opens up about enduring loss and channeling love: "Grief is an ongoing thing"

The Apple TV+ crime drama Dope Thief follows Ray (Henry), a man forced to make tough decisions alongside his best friend Manny ( Wagner Moura) after leaving prison. I remember Marcela [Said] doing Episode 4, and there was that crazy scene of Manny and Ray in the back of the truck with the grenade, and you can read that script all day long, and be like, ‘Alright, this is what’s happening’. Did I miss something?” Then, when it was Kate Mulgrew, I was like, “Say less.” It was interesting because you hope chemistry is going to be in a place that feels lived-in, but they’re both such amazing consummate professionals and legends that you don’t have to do any work.
