“I'm a Brooklyn boy.” — Jamie Hector Quote

I'm a Brooklyn boy.

David Simon and Ed Burns have so much confidence in their actors.

Showing a great father, a great husband but a horrible man, or vice versa, is very important for the world to see. Just so that you can also ask about yourself: 'Do I act like that? Do I have it in me?'

When all else hits the fan, I jump back onstage.

I was a part of a theater company growing up so I decided to develop a theater company for budding talent that are at-risk youth.

I always think back to that first night in Brooklyn, where I debuted, and it was this total surprise. I just remember thinking, 'I hope they care. I hope they remember me.' The way they embraced me that night, I knew it was the start of something special.

When people look back on me and my career, I'd like them to say I was one of the people who helped start something big in Brooklyn. Started a legacy where players want to come and play.

I wish that food trucks could exist here in Chicago like they do in Brooklyn and in New York, where you're actually cooking off the truck.

Compton is this amazing place with a rich history. I see it as a new Brooklyn.
