The Wire star to guest in Holby City

‘The Wire‘ star Clarke Peters has filmed a guest appearance for BBC’s ‘Holby City’. According to Digital Spy, Peters, who stars as Detective Lester Freamon in ‘The Wire’, will play Donna Jackson’s (Jaye Jacobs) father Derek Newman for a month on the show.

Speaking about the role, Peters said: “The ‘Holby’ experience was an eye opener for me as to how professional everyone working in that factory of entertainment must be.”

“My directors, particularly Rob Evans, created an environment that was comfortable and supportive for any guest artist to thrive in.” ‘Holby City’s series producer Diana Kyle commented: “Clarke has an amazing body of work from West End theatre to ‘The Wire‘ and we were delighted when he agreed to come and join the team at ‘Holby’.”

Peters’ first episode of ‘Holby City’ is reportedly set to air in July.
