‘The Wire’ Star Andre Royo Faces His Own Sobriety in ‘Drinking in America’

DOWN TO THE WIRE –

March 18, 2023 – Andre Royo, a scene stealer in seminal TV series like “The Wire” and “Empire” and the recently Oscar-nominated film “To Leslie,” is tackling his most challenging role to date in Audible Theater’s revival of “Drinking in America,” which opens at Minetta Lane Theater on Sunday.

The 54-year-old Bronx native yearned to return to his roots in New York City theater but had no idea how hard his first headlining Off-Broadway role would hit home.

Written in 1986 by Eric Bogosian, the one-man play centers on 12 inebriated men under the influence of everything from heroin to alcohol to power.

Working on the play is deeply personal for Royo, who is currently celebrating a year and a half of sobriety.
