Sonja Sohn (Kima Greggs) Now
The character Kima Greggs, a Baltimore police detective who is a lesbian and struggles with alcohol issues and infidelity, was supposed to be killed off in the first season of The Wire, but her story became one of the most compelling of the season.
After the show ended in 2008, Sonja Sohn who played Greggs went on to have a recurring role in The Originals and Luke Cage as well as appearing in independent films. The show had a profound impact on Sohn, who took a break from acting in 2009 to concentrate on social issues and found the Baltimore-based reWIRED for Change, an outreach program for at-risk youth.
