POWER BOOK IV: FORCE

NEW SERIES! Executive producer and writer Courtney Kemp continues to build her Power empire with this latest spinoff that follows fan favorite Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) as he leaves New York for good after losing Ghost, LaKeisha and the only city he has ever known. Chicago was supposed to be a quick stop, but instead he finds himself straddling the line between the city’s two biggest drug crews, breaking all the rules — once again — in his quest for total power. There he meets up with Diamond (Isaac Keys), who’s not too happy to return to the streets after a 15-year sentence and find Tommy trying to run the show. Keys, a former NFL linebacker before he turned to acting, tells that in the Power universe there’s limited trust and a lot of action. Here he shares some of the details of the new series. The Power universe is unstoppable. What did you do when you learned you got the role? When I got the role, there was a lot of yelling. There was a lot of F-bombs. There was a Michael Jordan jump in the air, and a Tiger Woods fist pump. So, it was one of those things where I knew the role. When I read the role, I was like, “This is me.” The physical description, the struggle, those type of things. A lot of times as actors, we don’t get those type of roles that you feel align exactly with you, but let alone actually get the role. What is Diamond’s connection with Tommy? Diamond has been locked down for 15 years in prison for some things and his dealing with his organized crime syndicate he calls CBI (Chicago Brothers Incorporated). When he comes out, all of a sudden he hears this new name of Tommy. He’s like, “Who’s this guy?” So, the series opens up with him realizing somebody else is in the city that’s kind of messing up things. Writer Courtney Kemp is big on her characters all having some kind of original sin in their journey. Is Diamond’s original sin the reason why he served time? He is part of an organized crime syndicate ... where he has to uphold a certain type of personality. He’s a certain type of person that people either fear, respect or are inspired by. That’s heavy on a person when they try to uphold that, even when they feel like they’ve changed. I think part of why he was locked up was because of him going through this evolution of who he wants to be, who he is and who he represents to the people around him. — Barb Oates
