Exclusive: Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods on playing Snaps & Pop on Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4
Currently playing on Starz is the fourth season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4, which stars MeKai Curtis, Patina Miller, London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Hailey Kilgore, Wendell Pierce, Erica Woods, and Tony Danza.
In season three, Kanan Stark (MeKai Curtis) finally stopped living in the shadow of his mother. After enduring her lies, Kanan assumed control of his life and took matters into his own hands by orchestrating the plan that ended in the deaths of Ronnie and Detective Howard. In season four, slates have seemingly been wiped clean for Kanan, Raq (Patina Miller), and the rest of the Thomas family. Kanan’s drug business has hit its stride; Raq is free of the foes who once plagued her; Lou (Malcolm Mays) has cleansed himself of his demons; the Federal Task Force case against Marvin (London Brown) has become shrouded by Howard’s corruption; and Jukebox (Hailey Kilgore) has chosen a new path away from home.
In the eye of the storm, one very dangerous obstacle looms large, Unique is alive, and he’s more volatile and violent than ever. His hunt for revenge upends the lives of the Thomas family. Amidst the chaos, a truth will emerge that can no longer be denied: You are who you are. Although you may be capable of change, the fundamentals remain the same, and sooner or later, you will be forced to confront the inescapable reality of your inherent nature. Rejecting or embracing this truth may be the difference between life and death.
Pierce plays Ishmael “Snaps” Henry, a living legend on the street, former bank robber, and Og dealer who now acts as a mentor and financier for up-and-comers like Kanan along with his partner and wife, the love of his life, Stephanie ‘Pop’ Henry, played by Woods.
