The slam poet turned scene-stealer has been working at a steady clip for the last 15 years. With ‘Will Trent,’ she’s finally getting another role worthy of her gifts.

Sohn still carries that conviction in conversation nearly 30 years into her screen-acting career—one in which she’s experienced just about every corner of the industry. From her breakout roles in the indie Slam and the HBO series The Wire to her extensive work across film and TV since, she’s demonstrated impressive longevity and versatility.

“I had never been on set like that and had never had to move at that pace. So there was a lot to learn that I was not taught,” she says. “And we were working in neighborhoods that were very familiar to me culturally, was triggering in some ways.” Gradually, she found her footing. Kima was one of The Wire’s principal anchors through its brilliant five seasons, with Sohn afforded the kind of long-term arc most actors dream about.
