    Most well known for his starring role as James “Ghost” St Patrick in the hit Starz series Power, Omari Hardwick sits down with the guys to talk about his career, behind the scenes life and how his character translates into his everyday persona.
    Crediting the show Power and the evolution of his character Ghost, Omari say his role allowed people to relate to the imperfections all of us deal with and made a cultural impact no just in the black community but resonating with all people. Omari opens up about his relationship with 50 Cent and how it helped shape his career and also shares insight about the personal bonds formed.
    An athlete before acting, Omari relates to the preparation and mindset one has when seeking perfection and trying to be the best at their craft. He explains to Fred, Ryan and Channing that the people who are a little off are the ones who we often admire as they choose to take risks and put themselves out there.
    Ryan dives into Omari’s upbringing and family life as he deals with personal choices under a microscope along the way, including his marriage to wife Jennifer.
    Channing asks about the sex scenes and what it’s really like with a camera that close during those moments!

I love to correlate things into analogies and similarities to really bring a complete overstanding also. Im also a poet, as such it gets misconstrued as "fake deep". Its gotten to the point where in certain rooms i have to "dumb down". I wish it was understood and accepted more (the way my mind works)

    OMG! Lawd Hem Mercy! One of the best damn Pivots, hands down. O is the real deal; deep, theological, practical, note worthy, and honest about his journey. I'm a 62 year old professional working in the area of Theological education and to listen to these young men realize and understand how the dynamics of one's faith and or religious beliefs intersect with one's professional journey is truly profound. My my my, I just wish so many brothers (White and Black) will watch this particular interview because it is coming from a place of "Real" I love it! Thank you gentlemen!

    Really enjoyed this interview. It’s amazing that Omari keeps pushing forward. I loved his role in power but till this interview I never knew that I loved that role because of him. Ghost as a character is touching and really gets to your heart, because of who Omari is.
    Great episode keep it up.

    This is another gem, gentlemen.This conversation went to the deep end and was brilliant and informative. I rock with the fact that Omari H. addressed each topic with such honesty and transparency. Having never watched Power or any of the spin off shows, this Pivot Podcast has really enlightened me on Omari Hardwick, the man. It is beautiful how Omari H. was able to sit down with Channing C., Ryan C., and Fred T. and it seems like I am silently sitting with all of you and am part of the conversation. All of you have a gift and thank you gentlemen, Channing C., Ryan C., Fred T., and Omari H. for sharing this Pivot Podcast with us!

    One of THE BEST interviews that I’ve EVER SEEN… BOTTOM LINE! Great questions and even better answers!! Omari, I admire you FOR REAL. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    This brotha hit it hard in Power. My favorite scene was when Ghost schooled kannon son when he came for him. Ghost turn the tables and took the gun from him and told him , “Your Not Built For This.” He also knew that Kannon had put his son up to this to show loyalty. Ghost gave him the opportunity to walk away without killing him. Thx you Pivot for bringing this🙏🏾☝🏾

    When these actors are on set and on-screen, they make it look easy with their portrayals. But spaces like these allows us to gather insight into how much effort these actors truly put into these portrayals. You get to see the actor’s psyche, process, and approach to how they play a character, and we also get to see just how deeply they immerse “themselves” into their characters.

    I'm on 52:24 I had to quickly pause because... I have NEVER seen that camera angle on any podcast. This episode is so transcendental it's like we're actually watching something beyond just 4 men talking. And for the director to have the presence of mind to take this angle in order to emphasise the uniqueness of this moment is unreal. That camera shot speaks volumes to the energy and spirit that was in that room.

    • @jordyntaylor877
      @jordyntaylor877 Před 2 lety +1

      If he's giving you facts then is it really dodging the question OR is He giving you an answer that isn't generic, but rather something organic to think about and see the layers to the answer? Omari's mind is intelligently receiving the question and statements and quickly processing them. The receiver (Omari) of the questions is answering them in the way that he is, is because of having a wide perspective and critically analytical. So Omari's, answer is then given from all aspects of his perspective with drawing examples, analogies, facts, truth, candid spiritual humility for bring clarity, understanding and poetically to those he's speak to because theres not one way of answering in a truly engaging dialogue . Omari's nature is poetic so, could that be why it seems "smooth" to you? I'm just leaving you with my perspective to reflect on if you choose.
