Exclusive David Simon Q&A Q: Some in the group want to know if the fellatio in the Mayor's office in "Soft Eyes" was real?  [Jeffrey Bufano]

A: Real in what sense?  Are you asking if an actual mayor of Baltimore ever got a blowjob in his office?  Historically?  Post-Civil War?  My answer is, I hope so.  That job, such as it is, should come with certain prerogatives.

If you are asking whether the actress and the actor actually engaged in a sex act, no they did not.  That would be pornography and then I would be a pornographer.  Which, come to think of it, would be a cool thing to say about myself at certain parties, but no, it is untrue.  They are professional thespians depicting a moment in time, and film is always artifice.  You might as well ask if we actually shot Fruit dead under the expressway.

Glynn Turman If you are asking whether the penis in question actually belonged to our fictive mayor, I am instructed by the actor himself to answer in the following fashion: If you thought it large and impressive, then it most certainly is his property.  If you thought it in any way insufficient to the task, then no, it was a prosthetic device quite inferior to the authentic item.
