“I have no time to be drunk”: Why Andre Royo’s one-man show was kismet

Actor Andre Royo explains why performing Eric Bogosian's one-man play #DrinkingInAmerica, a show about addiction, felt like it came at a turning point in his life. Describing his state of mind when he took on the role, Royo shared, "I lost some friends, I went through a divorce, my daughter graduated.

The "Wire" actor talks about getting sober, preparing for the play and having it turn out to be a "monumental moment" in his career.
