During a recent interview, Royo reflected on playing a drug addict, telling The Sun, "I spoke to a hundred people with the affliction and they said they were never shown accurately so I took it to heart." He also revealed he was shot at and offered drugs during his time on The Wire.
"While shooting, I guess these guys were giving out free tests on the street corner because they said I looked like I needed a hit, put something in my hand and walked away," he told The Sun. "It was only when I got to my trailer that I realized what I had in my hand."
"I thought I must be doing a really good job, I must look the part," he said, joking, "That was my street Oscar!"
