The dark crime drama “Dope Thief” stars Brian Tyree Henry as a burglar who fears for his life while coping with his traumatic history. The American actor said the job felt like “a homecoming.”
Two Philadelphia friends who pretend to be DEA agents in order to rob trap houses are the subject of the eight-part miniseries, starring Henry as Ray and Wagner Moura from “Narcos” as Manny. However, they start a perilous chain of events that leads them to flee from both the police and a cartel when they raid an unidentified rural home.
“I could relate to a lot of things about Ray. I witnessed a man battling generational trauma, attempting to find a way to survive and find a means to receive genuine care.
