HBO's "The Wire" star, Michael Kostroff (gang lawyer Maury Levy) films 5th and last season of "The Wire"…he's in high demand for media interviews!

Los Angeles, CA- August 19, 2007 With the fifth and final season of The Wire ready to begin, you’ll enjoy Michael Kostroff’s sly, sinister, attorney role that he portrays in the crime drama show, The Wire. He’s definitely the most deliciously manipulative gang lawyer on television.

From TV to film, stage, commercials, and even as an author, speaker, and creator of the popular workshop, Audition Psych. 101, Michael Kostroff is gaining recognition as one of the most sought-after entertainers to interview. (Unlike his Maury Levy character, Michael Kostroff is a really super guy.)

Michael is also back in Los Angeles promoting his book Letters from Backstage: The Adventures of a Touring Stage Actor. This humorous chronicle, of his two years on the road with The Producers and Les Miserables, is growing tremendous popularity all over the country.

Even though Michael portrays a shifty lawyer and has played lots of shady types, he manages to sing and dance in his off-time from The Wire and gets a paid for it! (See Michael’s bio for list of musicals, films, TV show credits and commercials). From broadly outrageous, side-splitting comedy to intense, heart-breaking drama, Michael Kostroff’s variety of roles proves his skills as one of the most talented actors of our time.
