Felicia “Snoop” Pearson is embracing Christianity after going through baptism in DeKalb County, Georgia. The actress, best known for her role in HBO’s “The Wire”, was baptized by Pastor Jamal Bryant at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest.
The 45-year-old actress shared an undated image from her baptism on her Instagram page on January 3.
She captioned the post: “THE FATHER , THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST!!!”
Former cast members of “The Wire” showed support for their former costar in the comments.
Actor Julito McCullum commented, “Hell lost another one! Let’s go sis! So happy for you!”
Actress Sonja Sohn wrote, “Amen sis. i see our bro Michael K Upstairs… wwerrrrking. So happy for u.”
Actor Trey Chaney, who played “Poot” on the series, wrote: “Love this! Love you Snoop @bmoresnoop praise GOD.”
Felicia is a stud lesbian who turned her life around following her star turn on The Wire.
Born and raised in Baltimore, Felicia grew up in foster care and barely knew her biological parents, who were drug addicts.
At age 14, Felicia was convicted of second-degree murder after fatally shooting a girl. After serving more than six years at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women, she earned her GED and was released in 2000.
A chance meeting with the late actor Michael K. Williams at a Baltimore club changed her life. Michael, who played “Omar Little” on The Wire, introduced her to series’ producers. She soon landed the role as “Snoop,” a ruthless enforcer for Baltimore drug dealer “Marlo Stanfield” (played by actor Jamie Hector).
After the series ended on March 9, 2008, Felicia appeared in music videos like Rick Ross’ “The Boss” and ASAP Ferg’s “Shabba.” She also appeared on the VH1 reality series “Love & Hip Hop: New York” from 2016–2018 and on BET’s “American Gangster: Trap Queens”.
