On this episode of Story & Craft, I sit down to chat with actor Jamie Hector from &#34;The Wire&#34;, “Bosch” and Apple TV&#39;s &#34;Cape Fear&#34; to discuss his career and personal stories.We discuss Jamie’s roots, having grown up in Brooklyn as the youngest of seven and how his older sister sparked his early love for the arts. Jamie shares the exact moment he knew he belonged in the creative world – walking into a community theater space when he was 16 and feeling an instant connection to the energy in the room. It wasn&#39;t long before he shifted his focus away from college chemistry classes and fully committed to acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.We also talk about his dedication to giving back through his youth program, Moving Mountains, which has mentored thousands of kids in Brooklyn over the last two decades. To cap it off, Jamie talks about the unique validation of being handpicked by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg for his current role.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS[00:03:38] | Anthony Bourdain&#39;s surprise interview with Michael K.
