It just takes one mention of Atlanta for Omari Hardwick to start beaming about his hometown. “I’ll always give Atlanta credit for shaping who I am,” he says. “There’s a quality to Atlanta that allows black people to be unapologetic and gives them permission to try something that’s interesting and true.” Even now, at the age of 51, Hardwick (known for his roles in Starz’s Power, Army of The Dead, and most recently, Star Trek: Section 31 on Paramount+), says he remains “unapologetically confident” whenever he walks into a meeting or audition.

When Decatur native Omari Hardwick landed the role of Ghost on Starz’s Power, whose third season premieres on July 16, he realized that it was a rare acting opportunity. Hardwick describes his character, an ostensibly straight-laced businessman named James St. Patrick, as “a three-headed monster.”
