Brian Tyree Henry stars in the new series Dope Thief .

The actor says he couldn't stop reading the pilot script.

The series opens on Henry’s Ray and his longtime friend, Manny , pulling off their latest scam.

Henry didn’t know what to expect in building a relationship with creator Peter Craig .

Dope Thief is finally premiering two years after it began filming.

The series is set in a post-COVID era, with an ominous, immediate-post COVID moment.

The seven -episode season, which diverges from the novel, diverges greatly from the book.

Henry says he yearned to know what he and Craig were going to be like when we were 70-year-old men together on the streets of Brazil hanging out.

Henry hopes that through the portrayal of what I give Ray , people change the way they think about that in him.
