Joseph Sikora Talks Power Season 3<\/strong>Posted by Brad Balfour<\/p>\n

July 20, 2016<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

The collaboration between executive producers 50 Cent and Courtney A. Kemp continues to build audiences and develop the mythic tale of Power \u2014 a truly New York story of success built on crime and the effort to find redemption \u2014 at least for lead character James \u201cGhost\u201d St.\u00a0Patrick (Omari Hardwick). With the third season, debuting this month, the stakes are higher than ever.<\/p>\n

Though they\u2019ve been like brothers since childhood, Tommy Egan (Joe Sikora) and Ghost go their separate ways at the end of Season Two, with Tommy stays a criminal, distributing for Mexican drug cartel leader Lobos, with one condition – Ghost has to killed. Hurt by Ghost\u2019s abandonment, Tommy agrees to this task.<\/p>\n

Reunited with a gorgeous redhead Holly (Lucy Walters) in this new season, Egan is learning to be careful for getting what wished for, making him more crazed and brutal than ever. This role reversal the Irish guy driven to be the drug lord while his buddy choses to leave it behind, makes this central to the lure of this series. Add in the sexy side of these various couples coupling and the show offers an uncanny look into a seamy side of a New York most don\u2019t see or wish to.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Though Chicago born-and-bred actor Joseph Sikora has made his name being the ruthless Egan in Power \u2014 now entering its third season \u2014 he foreshadowed this current role in playing a conflicted villain in Tom Cruise starrer, Jack Reacher. But here\u2019s he has a sustained chance to show what he can do in developing a character with his myriad of dark and light sides.<\/p>\n

Born and raised on the Second City\u2019s far northwest side, Sikora studied acting, received a B.A. in theater, and landed in LA to advance his career. As a kid, he was in a TV commercial with Michael Jordan \u2014 maybe that provided some inspiration that finds its way into Power. Nonetheless, through ample experience in theater, film and television, the 40 year-old found himself continuing a role he has come to relish for his darkness and complexity.<\/p>\n

This roundtable was recently conducted at the Langham Hotel in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

How do you get to be such a bad guy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a>Joseph Sikora:<\/strong> You become such a bad guy by never thinking you\u2019re a bad guy. That\u2019s when you get into trouble and come off false and twist your mustache rather than be a human being. That\u2019s a big fault people fall into and that\u2019s why I turn off my television.<\/p>\n

How much of it is you directing your character and how much has Tommy Egan taken on a life of his own?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> For Tommy, more than anyone [else] I have played \u2014 then again I\u2019ve lived with him longer than any other character I\u2019ve been \u2014 really has a life of his own. I\u2019ve learned to trust him because he was a collaboration. The show\u2019s brilliant creator-storyteller, Courtney Kemp, gave me these wonderful bones to work with, Our show\u2019s star Omari Hardwick, and Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson, who is an accessible and influential executive producer comes from the streets we\u2019re trying to portray. He\u2019s been very influential in the storytelling and creating new characters so that by Season Three he\u2019s very lived in.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the decisions I made before we called \u201cAction\u201d on Episode One, Day One, are still all applicable. That character hasn\u2019t changed, that man who was created at that point is still the guy that we are seeing today, we are just enjoying different aspects and details of this person.<\/p>\n

Do you think he\u2019s up for the task of killing Ghost?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Myself as an actor had to find the place, and did find the place, where Tommy would kill Ghost because Tommy would kill anybody. To get there, where that comes from, that\u2019s the journey, that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to watch Tommy do. Also, Tommy is smarter than people often give him credit for.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019ll get from A to Z even if he has to shoot every letter or he\u2019ll just jump there. Sometimes it\u2019s a super direct route without being super finessed, but he\u2019ll get there. That\u2019s one of the things people enjoy about Tommy, not just his loyalty, but his stick-to-it-ness.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of Season Two, there was the disconnect between you and Ghost because before you and Ghost were best friends. In Season Three, will there be a backstory that ties up some loose ends as to how your character can be so angry with Ghost that you don\u2019t want him as a friend any more?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> The backstory is in the material. We have received that information; they grew up together and Ghost said, \u201cMy best friend of 25 + years.\u201d Ghost lived with us in my mother\u2019s house in the neighborhood after his father passed away. A lot of these things have been in there.<\/p>\n

I would recommend to anyone that wants a backstory to re-watch Seasons One and Two. Also, by the end\u2026 I tend to believe characters when they\u2019re in that moment of passion, and I think Tommy said a very truthful line, \u201cYou were my brother, but my brother is gone.\u201d He truly believes that. To get back from that is a stretch.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there any conflict going on in his mind? Does he ever want to walk away?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Tommy is ride or die by himself, he sticks to it, Tommy is the streets \u2014 they saved my life and I owe the streets everything rather than it being Ghost. These streets have nurtured me in a way that I can utilize this intelligence, information and savvy to a [various degrees] to legitimize this stuff and that\u2019s the way of the world.<\/p>\n

Tommy feels like that\u2019s a separation, that\u2019s a sell out, you\u2019re giving up on what gave you your personality and who you are. \u201c[Ghost] you are turning your back on yourself\u201d \u2014 that\u2019s how Tommy feels.<\/p>\n

You could argue that Tommy is stuck in a rut as a person and is just going to take the streets to their natural conclusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> You could also argue that a 100 dollars is more than 10 dollars and that\u2019s an evolution of money. He is evolving in terms of expansion. If you argue that expansion as evolution then you got a decent argument on your hands.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

And when does it stop? It doesn\u2019t ever stop. Evolution will never stop until everything is destroyed, Tommy in terms of the things he wants and considers power and control, have the option of growing until they explode and are no more.<\/p>\n

You can understand the psychology of someone staying at it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Tommy says to himself all the time, \u201cWe\u2019re going to die, why don\u2019t I walk away?\u201d But then Tommy says we\u2019re all going to die, and that\u2019s why he\u2019s going to live.<\/p>\n

In this season Tommy\u2019s world starts to get turned upside down, how is he going to try to stay above Julio and be this Napoleon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a>JS:<\/strong> He doesn\u2019t even try to stand above Julio, he just towers over Julio so exponentially. He\u2019s going to need to utilize his friends on the streets because there are more enemies than he even knows about and that\u2019s going to be revealed in this season. It\u2019s really exciting. People are not what they seem, people who we thought we knew all the way in season one have secrets that they are hiding that come out.<\/p>\n

The relationship between Tommy and Tasha, who I really want to bring up, [actress] Naturi Naughton, who just did an amazing turn in Season Two. She\u2019s always great, but boy, what a presence she has. The relationship between Tommy and Tasha this season is also strained, where is that going to happen? It\u2019s an A level playing field but it\u2019s rich soil, so there\u2019s going to be new plants that grow out of it; they are going to be different plants than we saw [before].<\/p>\n

Do you feel an ominousness when you play this character?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a>JS:<\/strong> I try to keep it as human as possible without thinking about adjectives. I just think about what I need to accomplish rather than thinking about how I\u2019m going to be perceived. When I\u2019m directing myself in something, at some point, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be more interested in the visual picture, but that\u2019s not my job and I don\u2019t like to micromanage. So I just do my job.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Tommy\u2019s relationship with Holly \u2014 seems like they are cut from the same cloth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> They\u2019re both fighters.<\/p>\n

They butt heads. How do you approach that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a>JS:<\/strong> It\u2019s a very interesting human way that these two people met. When we look back at our old relationships and find we were with boyfriends or girlfriends that were similar to us because that was exciting. An intellectual is often times with another intellectual.<\/p>\n

But she challenges me this way and we keep bumping heads and I think that as we grow older, those of us that have gotten into relationships later in life say, \u201cYou know what, maybe I need a yin to my yang to have a little more balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s not a lot of balance in that relationship, but it\u2019s exciting to watch. We do it as Lucy Walters, who plays Holly, we have a great rapport and trust with each other as actors. She does her thing and I react to it and I do my thing and she reacts to it. What we have is this visceral fun, sexy and violent relationship where you never know what\u2019s going to happen, but we also have this like-mindedness for them to win and it\u2019s going to be a great Bonnie and Clyde story for this season.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of these themes, these classic Greek tragedy tropes that give the story a mythic quality. Do you think it lends the story a mythic quality?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a>JS:<\/strong> I think it does, there\u2019s an epic quality but I can\u2019t say that comment because Courtney didn\u2019t like it. She created a world that has become very real. It is New York, but it\u2019s our New York of Power. There are certain rules and regulations\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s stylized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> In some capacity, but at the same time it really is New York. Other people often use the expression of \u201cthe fifth character\u201d for the city where the thing is filmed, but I don\u2019t think it [New York] is utilized in the same way [as we do]. I\u2019ll give Law & Order some props, it\u2019s a very New York animal in a similar way, but a more cinematic way. New York is utilized in Power to tell the story.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

When I look at you, you can be pretty intimidating. You\u2019re more complex than a villain but do you think of yourself as a dark character?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> That\u2019s what we do as actors, and I take that as a compliment, Brad. Because people make that mistake about me all the time. It\u2019s the old thing \u201coh you look this way\u201d well I look this way because I want to look nice today. It\u2019s means to an end, how I dress, how I present myself, and I got a lot of options.<\/p>\n

Did I ever think about it? I never really thought about it or didn\u2019t think about it. I just thought, \u201cWhat are the most interesting choices I can make today?\u201d and sometimes I fail and sometimes I succeed, but I always go for it.<\/p>\n

Can Tommy and Ghost ever get back to where they were?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> No, never. It\u2019s the old expression, a man can never step in the same river twice because it\u2019s not the same river nor is he the same man.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

What personal experiences have you pulled from to grow your character?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Just living life. It\u2019s hard to say in terms of the evolution of the character. In terms of creating the character I definitely created him based on some guys I met in my youth running around on the streets of Chicago, which can be pretty interesting place \u2014 with \u201cmen with death in their eyes,\u201d who always seem to have corny jokes.<\/p>\n

That was an aspect of Tommy I really wanted to make sure was there. Brad brought up earlier, people can fall into a two dimensionality and just try to be angrier or scarier, but that\u2019s not how people act in my experience. This is something to accomplish, what do I need to accomplish?<\/p>\n

There’s also a silky quality to Tommy. When he\u2019s the bacon thief or playing the kids or playing video games, that is one of my favorite things to explore with Tommy, the full roundedness of him as a human.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

How far along do you know where this is going to go? Are we going to see shows produced outside of the Power series from this team?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> I\u2019ve heard that too. I know what you guys know. I don\u2019t know much beforehand. I haven\u2019t seen the show yet, I see it when you guys do, I\u2019m not a producer on the project, I\u2019m not privy to earlier cuts or copies, and oftentimes not even earlier scripts. Sometimes the four leads will get the script a day or two earlier than the rest of the cast, just to help us along because we got the largest job. But as non-producers we\u2019re not privy to that information or influence.<\/p>\n

How much prep time do you get between getting the script and shooting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Sometimes it\u2019s less than you think. It\u2019s wonderful when we have a week beforehand, but often times it\u2019s just a couple of days and sometimes we have the reading and the next day you’re shooting the scene. That said, that has never happened on the first episode, which would be so much more difficult, because once you\u2019re in the rhythm and back working\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Omari has a phenomenal memory and never has a hard time getting things right beforehand. I\u2019m in the habit of winging it somehow, so it\u2019s okay. But some people get panicky and you have to bring that in, so that\u2019s when the luxury of trusting your team and trusting yourself comes in handy.<\/p>\n

This season you\u2019re in a more independent role and not under Ghost\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever been under Ghost. In his mind he has never felt he was under Ghost. My favorite dessert is the classic black and white cookie and that\u2019s how Tommy envisions the relationship, it\u2019s like the cookie. One half is white, one half is black. It\u2019s a cookie.<\/p>\n

Now Tommy has got to be the whole cookie. The veil has been removed from Tommy\u2019s eyes and getting into season three, Tommy\u2019s fear of having to set all this up, do all this work, make all these decisions about who\u2019s going to sit at the table, get the product in and sell it, but it gets revealed to Tommy that, \u201cI\u2019ve been doing this by myself a lot longer than I\u2019ve thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s extra pressures with that but coupled with the ultimatum of having to kill Ghost and how do you take care of that the same time you\u2019re running your operation, growing and expanding that. So it\u2019s pretty exciting \u2014 it\u2019s a huge journey for Tommy this year.<\/p>\n

It puts more responsibility on him \u2014 and you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Absolutely. And what old habits are bad for him and what old habits are good? This is real trial by fire.<\/p>\n

Given you must like that there\u2019s a trend towards Chicago on TV \u2014 even though you are working here in New York.<\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> I would like nothing better, but that said, I\u2019ve been in New York a long time now and I will never leave. I would love to be bi-coastal, New York and Chicago, and I\u2019ll always be a Chicagoan, but I\u2019ll always remain in New York.<\/p>\n

What did it take to get back into the mode when you had the break?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> It takes a little bit. I definitely know how lucky I am to have such a great role, so I make sure I take the time that I need to review the season, read old scripts that were important to the character and get back into it. Then you show up and you have a magnificent team you can trust and you make some great television.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Thought about returning to theater on your off time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> All the time; I\u2019d love to. I\u2019ve got an extensive theater resume, but it\u2019s really hard in New York. I’m an ensemble member of the Irish Rep Theatre here in New York and I\u2019d love to get back there to do some more work. Ciar\u00e1n O’Reilly is a magnificent human and a good friend.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t mind being back on Broadway, but I can\u2019t believe how hard it is to get these auditions sometimes. New York is more cliquey than Chicago is, but maybe it\u2019s because I\u2019m from Chicago. Chicago is less cliquey, it\u2019s called the \u201ccity of big shoulders\u201d for a reason, and it\u2019s because we do work, and we don\u2019t talk about it as much, we just do it.<\/p>\n

I hope we see you have a song-and-dance role soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> Me too.<\/p>\n

What would you want to do if you had one? Not \u201cChicago?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

JS:<\/strong> \u201cChicago\u201d would be great. I\u2019m trying to think. I\u2019d love to do \u201cLes Miserables!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
