Mack Wilds have kept things pretty low-key over the past few months, but the actor/singer is ready to make a splash of a comeback. During an interview with STASHED, the “Own It” artist talks about working on The Wire, “one of the best shows created,” he says, as well as working on a new album and a possible role in the FOX hit television series, Empire.

Wilds, who plays Michael Lee on The Wire talks about the show opening doors for other hot television shows and his acting career. “I thank God for “The Wire”, honestly, because that opened the door for a long form visual entertainment, so television has become a bigger thing because of shows like The Wire,” Mack says. “We’ve definitely gotten into a great place.”

Without missing a beat, the multi-talented act also plays in 90210, a spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210 and there is the possibility that he will be cast in Empire. Season 2, maybe? “I don’t like to talk about nothing until the paint is dry, the ink is dry, and the checks are in my account. There’s definitely a couple things on the table, but as of now, I’m still out there looking.” Wilds adds. “Ever Wednesday, I get at least 40 tweets, like ‘yo, Mack Wilds should be on Empire’. It’s great, I appreciate it, it’s a great show. Lee Daniels is amazing and the cast is dope, Taraji P. Henson is always a stellar actress, me and Terrence, we’ve worked on Red Tails together, that’s like the big homie, so I would jump at that in a second.”

Hmmm, I would jump at the second to watch!
