Courtney had very specifically setup that Ghost's main motive is Ghost. That was kind of the real time he tried killing Ghost and I think the other times he set Ghost up to be on his own and let him down, as he felt Ghost had done to him, which I think in a real sense Ghost did to everybody. And one specific time when he killed Angela. While you don't control what the writers decide to do, knowing Tommy so well, do you think he's truly done with his nephew? In Tariq's defense, Tommy himself tried to kill Ghost a few times. Speaking of Tommy and Tariq, Tommy tells Tariq that they will never see each other again. Of course I always have questions about the motives behind what Tommy does or why they have Tommy doing a specific thing, and I think that is the main thing, if you're collaborative with everybody and there's that understanding that if we all talk to each other and listen to each other, you come up with the best solutions. Everything was fun you saw we had a car chase, an explosion, a couple of shots.
It was interesting to have those scenes with Michael Rainey Jr., whose character by the time of the finale has had to have that evolutionary journey of a season, so it wasn't necessarily the same Tariq that I left and I thought Michael did a wonderful job of portraying a young man in transition. I just wanted to make sure that it was still the same Tommy. I had such faith, and I always have faith in Courtney's storytelling, so I knew it would be fun. I'm a big fan of Randy Huggins, who was the writer, and Aixsha Hiciano, who used to be Courtney's assistant and worked on the episode with Randy. When it came to the Ghost finale, and once you talked to Courtney and got the script, what were you most excited about in regards to Tommy's return? He needs to cut off all that figurative hair to leave home, and so is Tommy going to be able to survive outside of New York? How adaptable is he? And I think we will find out all these great things about Tommy that we possibly had an idea of and now we're going to get to see him develop these things from a new beginning. Especially you saw the finale of Ghost, so you know there was a finality in that, that it's, "You're never going to see me again, this is it." Tommy is so New York, everything about him he's said it time and again in Power how he just wants to get back home, because that's kind of like his hair if he was Samson. I think, because as you said, Tommy has been a fan favorite, you then think, why is Tommy a fan favorite, and a lot of that is because he's always been looking for family and always surrounded himself with people that one way or another are familial, and now what does he do when he has no family? Everybody he cares about is dead or dead to him.
It's so exciting to think of the possibilities but then you have to think of the practicality of where are we going to go with this story. I wanted to know where they were going to with the story because you always want to know. I think it was a lot of different emotions. You talked about your reaction when you thought you might get the call for Ghost, but what was your first reaction when Courtney told you or gave you a hint of the plans for more iterations of Power and Tommy's involvement?
