NEW YORK — These are some complicated men.
As the second season of “Power” began (it debuted June 6), James “Ghost” St. Patrick plunged ever deeper into the drug trade as a way to save his ritzy New York nightclub and leave the drug world behind, while he juggled life with two powerful women: his gung-ho gangster wife and his rekindled teen love, who, unbeknownst to him, is an assistant U.S. attorney who doesn’t realize the man she aims to bust is her Jamie.
Further complicating things was his lifelong best friend and business partner, Tommy Egan, who savors the drug world Ghost is trying to escape.
“Power” is an ebony-and-ivory love story, a love story between Ghost and Tommy, “two guys who just can’t figure out how to get away from each other,” says Omari Hardwick, who stars as Ghost opposite Joseph Sikora, who co-stars as Tommy.
As the two actors discussed the new “Power” season, they make it clear that they, too, have forged tight bonds since teaming up on the series.
