In the Apple TV+ series Dope Thief, Ray (Brian Tyree Henry) and Manny (Wagner Moura) put on fake DEA jackets and rob drug dealers in Philadelphia, an operation that’s effective enough until they cross the wrong people and realize that they have very real and deadly targets on their backs.
Awards Buzz spoke with Moura about getting to know his character and the power of filming in Philadelphia. Watch the video above to hear about returning to the world of drugs in a very different way than his breakout role as Pablo Escobar in Narcos.
Season one of Dope Thief is now streaming on Apple TV+.
