Exclusive: Wendell Pierce Talks Joining the cast of Power Book III: Raising Kanan
written by Julian Cannon
Renowned actor Wendell Pierce has officially joined the cast of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” stepping into the role of Ishmael.
Ishmael’s character is poised to make a significant impact on the storyline, introducing intriguing dynamics and plot twists. With Pierce’s seasoned acting prowess, viewers can expect a compelling portrayal that adds richness to the narrative. As an accomplished actor with a diverse range of roles under his belt, including notable performances in “The Wire” and “Treme,” Pierce brings a wealth of experience to the Power universe.
Pierce described that entering the Power universe was a novel experience for him. It presented an opportunity for him to venture into uncharted territory, portraying a character distinct from his usual roles as law enforcement or a lawyer. Typically cast in roles associated with the CIA, this project allowed him to embody a different kind of man—one driven by the common desires of creating something meaningful for himself and his family, leaving an indelible mark on the world, impacting his community, and securing a livelihood. This fresh and compelling perspective appealed to him as an actor, providing the chance to explore a character with a unique set of motivations and aspirations.
“I wanted to try to explore that when people aren’t allowed to be a part of the mainstream economy, they will go to the underground economy,” he said. “And it’s the same impetus, the same sense of wanting to be a businessperson and to build a business and Ishmael is not allowed to do it in the more orthodox way as he is going to do it in an unorthodox way. He doesn’t see it as criminality. He sees it as a function of making a way out of no way. And that’s a really interesting thing to explore for an actor, because that’s about human behavior.”
The casting of Wendell Pierce as Ishmael has generated considerable excitement among fans, who eagerly anticipate witnessing his on-screen chemistry with the existing cast members. The series, set against the backdrop of the ’90s hip-hop scene, explores the early years of iconic characters, providing a riveting prelude to the Power saga.
Pierce’s involvement adds another layer of authenticity to “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” as his talent and dedication to his craft are sure to resonate with audiences. The actor’s ability to portray complex characters with nuance and depth aligns seamlessly with the show’s commitment to delivering a gripping narrative.
As the anticipation builds for the upcoming season, fans can look forward to seeing Wendell Pierce bring Ishmael to life in a way that only a seasoned performer of his caliber can. The combination of Pierce’s talent, the compelling storyline, and the vibrant setting of ’90s New York sets the stage for an enthralling chapter in the Power universe.
With Wendell Pierce on board, “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” continues to shape up as a must-watch series, promising fans an immersive experience filled with drama, suspense, and the electrifying energy that defines the Power franchise.
