Felicia “Snoop” Pearson of the HBO hit series “The Wire” was arrested on March 10th along with 63 other individuals in connection with a major drug operation. Pearson who claims to be innocent rose to fame as a “no-nonsense” drug dealer on the show but it seems she cannot separate the role she played to who she is in reality. The recent offense is not the actress’ first tangle with the law. At the age of 14, Pearson was charged with second-degree murder and served time for the crime. Should actors and actresses who have had troubled pasts play roles which mirror situations that they experienced in their own lives? Could their past history serve as a source for them to draw inspiration from or does it hinder them from improving their lives onscreen as well as off?
