Lance Reddick's dream was to hit the big time as a musician, but he's known for his powerful roles in two HBO standout series, Oz and The Wire. He now co-stars in the Fox hit, Fringe. The Baltimore native first acted in high school just for fun. He went on to study composition at the prestigious Eastman School of Music; but when his budding music career was interrupted, he turned to acting. Reddick also studied at the Yale Drama School. He never lost his passion for music though, releasing a CD that he made available on his Web site.
