Wendell Pierce | Career
Wendell Edward Pierce (born December 8, 1963) is an American actor. He is known for his roles in HBO dramas such as Detective Bunk Moreland in "The Wire" and trombonist Antoine Batiste in "Treme", as well as portraying James Greer in "Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan", as high-powered attorney Robert Zane in "Suits", and additionally as Michael Davenport in "Waiting to Exhale".

Wendell Pierce | Introduction
Pierce's first big television break came in the early 1990s with Norman Lear's political comedy, "The Powers That Be," in which Pierce played Theodore, a Congressman. Despite positive reviews from critics, the show was canceled after a brief run. In part due to his close physical resemblance to Kelsey Grammer, the producers of the "Cheers" spin-off "Frasier" created the role of Niles Crane (Frasier Crane's younger brother) for him. Although prior to "Frasier" going into production, Pierce had petitioned the Screen Actors Guild to change his billing to David Pierce, the name he had used on the stage, the use of his middle name in the show's credits helped reinforce the actor's and the character's "snooty" image.

According to series creator David Simon, Pierce was cast immediately after completing his audition for the part. In Jonathan Abrams' book "All The Pieces Matter", about the process of making "The Wire", Simon described Pierce's state of mind at the audition: "He was really pissed off. He had gotten in an argument with a cab driver. It was one of those sort of trying-to-hail-a-cab-while-black moments in New York, and he came in and he was steaming." Although he tried to apologize for being upset, the casting staff felt his attitude was perfect for a stressed-out Baltimore homicide detective. Pierce was not aware of the rationale until much later.

She recommended him should they ever want Frasier to have a brother. The creators were "blown away" both by his resemblance to Grammer and by his acting ability. They decided to ignore Frasier's statement on "Cheers" and created the role for Pierce. Pierce accepted the role before realizing he had not read a script. Once he was given a script, he was initially concerned that his character was essentially a duplicate of Frasier, thinking that it would not work. The first table reading of the pilot script was notable because the producers had never heard either Pierce or Mahoney read lines because they were cast without auditions.

According to Pierce's longtime stage manager and dresser Kirk Frederick in his 2016 authorized Pierce biography, Davis was unimpressed with Pierce's portrayal and refused to go backstage after the show to greet Charles, saying "There is only one female impersonator who does me right, and his name is Arthur Blake."

Frederick reports that Davis brushed off Pierce with the same reference to Blake but didn't mention attending the show.

Dan Harmon emphasized the importance of the cast to making the premise of the comedy work. "Casting was 95 percent of putting the show together," he said in an interview. He had worked with several of the cast members previously. Actor Chevy Chase had long been a favorite of Harmon. Though initially not partial to sitcoms, Chase was persuaded by the quality of the show's writing to take the job. Harmon saw similarities between Chase and the character he plays on the show. Though Chase has often been ridiculed for his career choices, Harmon believed this role could be redeeming: "What makes Chevy and Pierce heroic is this refusal to stop." Harmon had to warn Chase against playing a "wise-ass" the way he often does in his roles, since the character of Pierce is a rather pathetic figure who is normally the butt of the joke himself.

The character progression of several characters and the performances of various actors were lauded by critics. Wigler noted that Bernthal, Holden, and DeMunn delivered "brilliant character work", a view that was echoed by Pierce in regards to Emmerich's performance; "He has a nervous intensity that grounded every scene he was in, which this show needs." Similarly, Alan Sepinwall of HitFix described Emmerich's acting as "haunting", and ultimately cited the performances of Lincoln, Holden, and DeMunn as episode highlights. Ryan affirmed that character development remained one of the series' strongest points.

James Pierce | Introduction
One of the reasons for the plays success was because of Thomas Wignell in the role of Johnathan, the first stage yankee. The stage yankee became the first American stock character. He had American pride, twangy speech, terrible sense of fashion, and was ignorant to a lot of things the other characters in the play found important. There is a scene in the play that is famous for Johnathan describing the John Street Theatre, the theater that the play was being performed in at that time. Wignell had other roles he was successful in; Darby in O'Keefe's farce "The Poor Soldier" was another comedic part Thomas became praised for.

In the 1950 radio sitcom on which "Green Acres" was originally based, the character was a banker named John Granby and portrayed by Gale Gordon. Granby, in turn, was based on Gordon's character on "My Favorite Husband". In a notable difference between the radio and television versions, Granby had a teenage daughter, which the Douglases did not. The character's basic premise of a white-collar city man with passion but no talent for farming remained unchanged. The character's name was inspired by famed Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and possibly also by then-Supreme Court justice William Orville Douglas.
