Nikki (Katie Finneran, L) and Gary (Chad Coleman, R) discuss raising their teenage daughter Cr: Greg Gayne/FOX.

Chad L. Coleman’s life would make a great film. He emerged from poverty and a tragic family circumstances to become a respected actor, family man and a mentor to young people. His latest role is “Gary” the divorced husband in the new Fox sitcom “I Hate My Teenage Daughter.” I spoke with him recently about life after The Wire for Style Weekly.
