413 Hope St. was a short-lived drama which aired on the FOX network in the fall of 1997. The series was co-created by actor/comedian Damon Wayans, who made a stark departure from his usual comedic work.
The ensemble cast -- headed by film actor Richard Roundtree -- included Broadway and future Law & Order star Jesse L. Martin, soap opera actress Shari Headley, and Wayans' In Living Color castmate Kelly Coffield.
Premise
413 Hope St. was named for the address of a New York City crisis center. Its founder, a successful corporate executive named Phil Thomas (Roundtree), started the center in the building at the site where his teenage son was gunned down after refusing to relinquish his sneakers to a street thug.
The topics addressed by the series included drug addiction and recovery, HIV and AIDS, foster care, re-integration into society after incarceration, and homelessness.
Despite widespread critical acclaim, the series was cancelled after only 10 episodes, with its final broadcast airing on New Year's Day 1998.
