Colin Farrell Says He’ll 'Catch Up' on 'The Sopranos,' 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Wire' 'When I Grow Up'

Colin Farrell got candid about not having seen several classic television dramas while walking the red carpet for the New York City premiere of his new HBO series, 'The Penguin.'

I have Sopranos, I have Breaking Bad and someday when I grow up, I have The Wire to catch up on, which are the three I think of when I think of extraordinary television,” Farrell said at the Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Golden Globe Award winner added that he takes it as a compliment that his work is compared to the mob crime drama, which ran for six seasons beginning in 1999. “That, kind of, in their time, changed the face of television and opened up possibilities for other shows,” Farrell said.
