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!

@@crush_4103 man!!! They both that one
If you only like black shows
@@columbusohio72 he’s right tho. Everyone loved ghost. Bryan Cranstons Walter White is one of the most iconic characters of all time as well
Omari’s ability to take each question and dissect them to granular pieces is amazing! He’s beyond talented, Omari is gifted!
I know, I was thinking hold up He didn't answer the question. Then he makes a full circle and insert the answer to the question into the point he's trying to make
@@audemars8819 c
Yes and very intelligent as well love his energy
He just likes hearing himself talk. 🤣💯
I would like to see Omari do what Denzel Washington did whom was restrictive by choosing the script or characters he wanted to portray. Omari's is very wise and gifted with being open minded as a blackman and growing in Hollywood is like playing football.
Omari's face when he said "We ain't never seen a character like that" about Ghost was special to see. It hit him hard how much people thought of his work.
Omari Is A Grade A Professional Interviewee, He’s Absolutely Incredible At Dissecting, Analyzing And Answering Questions. Fellas You’ve Done It Again! This Was Tremendous…
Damn straight!
This kinda how 50 answers questions probs got a lil from him
I THANK BRANDON MARSHALL IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM LETTING GO OF HIS 2 STAR PLAYERS WE NEVER WOULD'VE GOT THE BEST TRIO WITH RYAN CLARK FORREAL! THE PIVOT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY PODCAST I GET HYPED FOR LIKE IF ITS NEW EPISODE OF MY FAVORITE SHOW ON NETFLIX!
Brandon fumbled the bag though. IAA has not been the same without the originals.
Big Facts!! Pivot been giving the people what they want
It was a blessing in disguise. Brandon Marshall’s fat ego clouded his long term vision.
They decided to leave. He didn't let them go.
@@frederickreese8398 he basically forced them out by not paying them what they’re value was.
The more you listen to Ryan Clark, the more you realise how he moved from an undrafted player to a Superbowl winner... He has innate wisdom that catalyses and raises his physicality. The definition of a self made man - and Omari Hardwick sees that in him, speaks it to him. It's beautiful...
That journey is craaaazy, its something different inside that man. Its funny if you go back now and rewatch when he was on first take schooling them boys. And stephen a smith saying he'd never amount to anything in the media space... now look, u dont bet against ppl like him
Grabs opportunity and shows out
He from a small town of STUDS! Draft position was nothing to him. He from a different ilk
👐👏👐👏💯💯💯
The only other player I know that was like that was Doug Baldwin. Would love to see Doug Baldwin on this show.
This interview is EVERYTHING!! The way that Omari expressed himself and articulates his thoughts so eloquently is refreshing! KUDOS fellas!!
Eloquence epitomised!
Watching the show "POWER " and all of the POWER universe shows... This man is the OG of the ENTIRE chain of shows... his essence will always be the focal point of every spinoff show....Fan FOREVER
Omari is a MASTERFUL poet. The way he poetically articulates his sentiments and how layered his retorts are is just absolutely incredible. This wasn’t just an ordinary podcast episode or an interview, this is a MASTERCLASS.
Definitely a masterclass
Facts
Pivot is THAT podcast but this interview has been one of my favorites although all of them are fire! ❤️
This dude dodge questions with long answers
@@CWTGD lls
This dude has to be the best communicator or story teller I’ve ever heard talk.
Taking notes.
I agree him and fat joe
Very compelling speaker
He's one of the best...
Jordan Peterson will blow your mind as well. This dude uses every big/uncommon word in the dictionary in a way that makes YOU FEEL SMARTER 🤓🤯😎
@@GiftedGentleman87 yeah but Jordan is an educator and clinical psychiatrist you’d have to be an idiot not to think he’s smart or a good speaker. It’s more impressive for Omari because you don’t necessarily expect a athlete/actor to be this deep of a thinker who can perfectly articulate said thoughts.
and Jamie Fox🤗
Omari Hardwick is an amazing human being. I had no idea how incredibly deep he is or how he works to uplift & enlightened his people.
This was one of the most inspiring videos that I’ve ever watched!
Parts of what Omari said brought me to tears!
Too many gems to address!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This the dude that married a white chick who got disowned for marrying him?
@@kernalbert4939 What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
@@alishajoh Working to "uplift and enlightened his people" includes not allowing a scenario where the most important person in your life is not from your people.
It's literally the foreign index of regional tea costs.
@@alishajohcan I smell ur feet
@@kernalbert4939you doing too much
It was obvious you guys had so many questions for Omari, but I love the restraint you guys used to let him tell his story. It was like slow churned ice cream. You fellas realized Omari is a master storyteller, and he was able to create a beautiful story. BRAVO!
He created stories for sure 😂
"I'm secondly a brother, but I'm first God's kid." - Omar Hardwick Let that sizzle in your spirit for a second. Great show Kings!
I felt that💯
Omari
U white ?
Nah I need to digest that fully
That touched me too!!
This man’s memory is crazy!! He’s just pulling data from everywhere. Great interview.
I see that with a lot of athlete's, they don't forget shit.
walking encyclopedia
I can’t help but notice how well all three of them can lead an interview at any given time, with any guest. I would think having Ryan on probably introduced Fred and Channing to another level of media training and journalism, which is super dope. I always feel like I’ve walked away with a new lesson after each show. Even the comments are elevated and a reflection of their impact each time they produce together. Kudos!🔥
I already was an Omari fan but this made me appreciate him more as a person. He seems like an interesting dude. Looking forward to what he does in the future
This gathering of Black voices, emotional intelligence, and transparency makes me SO PROUD to be a Black man. Omari is such an intriguing, dynamic personality This entire podcast is such a blessing.
Omari is deep. You have to pay attention and follow to understand what he's saying. He's a poet. O is that dude!!! Thank you Pivot.
Absolutely!! He is so deep
thats cool and all but ineffective if the goal is to communicate
Ive never cried from a show. But when i seen power for the first time i sobbed at the ending . I still do drop a tear and i watch it over atleast 15 times since it went off
I thought I loved ghost but after hearing Omari talk, you realize that he made the character so likable. Very well spoken, polite, and intelligent. Found a new level of respect for an actor.
The Black Man IS IN FULL EFFECT !!!! Keep raising the bar and striving kings ✊🏾. Great podcast… amazing host.. amazing actor
Well said
✊🏾
Wise Words Brotha!
Man… couldn’t put it any better this was phenomenal
✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
This is why I love The Pivot. The dialogue is just always epic. This episode is fire.
🔥🔥🔥🧨🧨🧨🧨
We
Pretty
@@sevmeister21 o we
When Omari talks, it's just like **writes notes** the whole time! A true intellectual!
Definitely a deep interview. I love how open and speaking honestly Omari spoke. He gave great examples especially with Tupac. We all must remember that we are we are human and need to respect eachother.
you can tell how much respect the fellas have for Omari, for the most part, they sit back and let him express himself and takes us all on a poetic journey about his legendary character and mind set. i loved this episode, the Pivot keeps firing on all cylinders.
Really miss ghost
Damnnnnn imagine that ending with Ghost giving his life for Tommy’s life. What a damn ending that would’ve been.
Agreed. Starz missed great opportunity on that one!
Hands down that ending would have been better for Power the show but not Power the Universe. The network n the producers wouldnt let that happen. They chose Riq killing his dad bc he was going to be Ghost 2.0 on his own show. Which is why the ending felt forced imo. But I would have loved to hear his thoughts on Book II
Nah would’ve been better if he saved Tariq and redeemed himself
@@terrib5262 yeh Courtney let her personal shit mess up the whole last season
@@DavionSeenit na riq was saved wayyy too many times and didn’t appreciate shit
I had to watch twice to understand fully what O was truly putting into context the character of Ghost. Love it.
I pray this man gets the pay day he is seeking to settle his heart. Dudes a phenomenal actor, and ghost is legendary. This was a excellent episode, and excellent conversation.
These guests are so unpredictable its insane, Kudos to the team for keeping things interesting 👏
Amazing.
The thing I love. All guests are open & vulnerable, very rare
.
Its crazy how some people literally live and think in an entirely different mental capacity than most. They way Omari is able to articulate himself is very compelling. You can tell he’s a deep thinker
Facts man, I’m kinda jealous lol. I wish I could have deeper thought like that and articulate words the he does cohesive and confident
Facts but at the same time Omari did say he is a poet and to be that you have to be a deep thinker. Because It's the same reason people love great rappers such 2pac, Biggie, Jay-z, Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, etc because they are poets and deep thinkers.
My mind works the SAME way, i view things on micro and macro level & bring the emotional as well as spiritual into account not just the logical. 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)
@@bugzmccarthy8416 true definition of different!
@@samueljosiah2795 yessir, thought i was wierd. Glad to see someone with stature accepted for it.
He said it in code…Best way to go out is Machiavelli Quotes, “ Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”
Fake your own death when everyone is ignorant or clueless
This interview gave much detail on why Omari is a great master of his craft and why he played the ghost character as great as he did!! Great interview
Bro, IAA being dumb enough to let these guy go is a blessing cus this show is AMAZING. IAA got us through the pandemic but this is different level. I just wish Chad could be here too🫡
Yow you're speaking my language bro....... the chemistry between those dudes plus Chad would be wicked !!!
What makes this work, is Ryan being a humble facilitator, Fred's insight and Channing's comic relief. Great chemistry.
Bro, you simps have to learn how to compliment The Pivot without bringing up IAA. Ya’ll sound like hurt groupies.
I love both podcast both styles
I would love if Chad joined the boys. Chad adds so much
His name is Omari and he deserves the respect of being directed as such. Very impressive interview.
I absolutely love this interview the most! The man Omari speaks soo much wisdom and thoughtful knowledge, while not being too preachy. It's genuine, I love it, I love him for his work, knowledge and patience. 👏🏾👏🏾 I play semi pro football and I am now acting and this whole thing was so relatable. This is my 3rd time watching it in 2 days.
Omari is a very intelligent dude very well spoken
The intelligence,strength and vision in this man is crazy‼️ Him talking can move and motivate you in ways you will never see its insane.
If you don’t get goosebumps listening to this episode, you’re not listening hard enough. This one is one for the books. I’m a better person, and most importantly, a better man after listening to this one.
I agree
Totally!! This man is FIRE..
RESPECT
This man has everything to be a A list Hollywood actor, charismatic, smart and a great actor.
Wow. Omari is so much more than just a talented actor. Dudes articulation and Insight is purely inspiring. GREAT interview 💯
The best part about The Pivot is the conversations, everyone that comes on really gets to be themselves no egos no scripted nonsense ! This whole convo was a mental jewel ! And Channing Crowder God I love him no matter how serious the moment he gonna find a way to make everyone laugh !
Ok I get It but the question about the wife color ..he went off
@@kandi895 time stamp ?
@@blankface40 something about sitting at the lunchroom table,going to different tables..
Yes Channing brings levity
I met Omari in Albuquerque on a set. He approached me, which blew my mind and we had a short conversation. I will never forget that interaction with a "celebrity" but to me it was just having a conversation with a brother who was in a profession that I probably won't ever get close to again.
DID NOT expect him to reference Dolph. Wow. Even more respect to Omari….
Omg this is one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched 🥹🥹🥹 I love this dynamic and THE WAY OMARI SPEAKS?!? So much power and grace and humility. Hearing him talk is just beautiful.
Omari Hardwick is literally one of one
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!
I so loved this interview. I like how it ended " they didn't do the make love scenes on Power, they was effing"
One of dopest interviews that I've watched from ANYBODY ANYWHERE and the best thing that i can say about ANY interview that is great is when you let the guest TALK and fella's you did that.. what made more compelling is that you guys not only have chemistry together but hold the same chemistry with Omari as well..
This interview was so engagingly intense and gracefully compelling. I enjoyed the entire set. I'm thankful that these fellas keep delivering great content. Appointment viewing for sure
It's a wonderful thing.🌟🌟🌟🌟
Your first sentence is a thing of VERBAL VOLUPTUOUSNESS, your hear me???????
Omari is Ghost 24/7 lol he really acts like this in real life
You can tell Omari don’t fuck with Courtney for fumbling that ending and not listening to his idea and instead having Ghost killed by his son instead. And he doesn’t feel like he was appreciated the way he should have been for carrying that show and that network
I really feel blessed to have seen this episode of The Pivot.......these guys have done it again, when you think they've done their best episode , they surpass it. Keep up the great work guys, there is nothing like The Pivot anywhere
Man Omari is all over the damn place.
Omari is just different!
He is really sharing here! This will be on repeat over here!
Denzel Washington was his mentor early on in his career. You could see the calm/confident demeanor as well as the fluent speaker/intellectual mannerisms that both he and Denzel has!! Glad he’s getting his hard earned flowers ✊🏾
No, but seriously this man is such a great leader in our community! This interview was amazing, and I cannot wait to see what Omari does with his career!!!!!
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🙏🏾☝🏾
Classic Power
Favorite scene was Ghost choking Tasha in her apartment 😂
It's Kanan not 'kannon'.... Get it together 😂😂😂
"who got the gun now, FUCK NIGGA"😂😂🤣🤣😭Ghost was fuckin Amazing
This is insane. This might be the greatest interview I’ve seen in my life, not only as a black man, but a man. Thank you!
Watch how they listen to this man. Omari’s so polarizing as a figure and everything he says is meant wholeheartedly. Amazing interview
“previously on power…”
These men allow their guests to speak…. I will just leave it at that. Well done Fellas
Feels like they’re interviewing Ghost lol. He’s such an amazing actor.
I know right 😅
This is one of the most profound intellectual interviews of our modern plight as humans and specifically cultural humans. Big ups to all these men. "The human side is the only side"
WoW!!! This was the all time BEST Intellectual Interview. Great Job Pivot Team!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s really dope to see how much the guys respect Omari & how focused in they are. He’s a leader.
It’s not necessarily “ghost” that we miss on Power, it’s Omari. That presence can’t be matched.
I have a new level of respect and perspective towards Omari. This interview displayed a side that I was unfamiliar with as a fan. I appreciate all four of you (MEN) for your contribution to our culture and society as a whole. SALUTE!!!
Omari is the perfect interviewee. The way he mentioned each of the trio by name in each of his responses, its crazy!
THIS INTERVIEW has made me actually SEE Omari in a COMPLETELY different light! I honestly don’t think ANY OTHER INTERVIEWERS could’ve been quiet long enough to actually let him SPEAK, so that we could’ve gotten to KNOW him on such a deep level! WOW… Just WOW!!!! 🤯
One of THE BEST interviews that I’ve EVER SEEN… BOTTOM LINE! Great questions and even better answers!! Omari, I admire you FOR REAL. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ryan, Fred and Channing… Undeniable chemistry! Really smart, thoughtful and knowledgeable questions. I love that y’all don’t interrupt your guests. Y’all did your THING 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The pivot is the one because it’s across the board, so many different people from different walks of life. Shout out from London 👏👏👏👏
Yes London here too ….this has been real fruit
Well thank you for pulling in because we felt that character like no other! Ghost will forever be my greatest character just like Nemo Brown! You guys have life and persona into those characters forever! Great acting skills and dedication!
I cld listen to Omari tlk all day it's pleasant to hear the way he articulates his answers to the questions he was asked.
Channing you said that….. “looking at Ghost and saying this is how men move…no matter what they do, no matter what their stream of income is.” You dudes are bringing it!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✅✅✅💯💯💯
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.
This was an amazing episode. I appreciate the genuine conversations and the REAL TALKS you guys have. Stay solid!! ✊🏾
Definitely one of the best podcast ever, the energy of this interview was incredible. Keep doing y’all thing fella’s.
This...just might've been...the GREATEST interview I've ever seen/heard. The levels of depth & perspective coming from all parties involved, especially from the guest, were absolutely incredible.
I never heard of these guys when they played football (not into sports), but I'm addicted to this podcast.
Human stories. Y'all are like my sons.
You never heard of Fred Taylor????? I’m 25 & never really got into the NFL much but I do remember Fred Taylor from my childhood.
Never Heard
As a actor myself and still broke. I want to thank you guys for doing this interview with Omari!!! After hearing him talk about the financial side of the business, I definitely can relate! I hope you fellas keep making great content for years to come!!!
Keep pushing bro. I'm an actor myself and still broke. But this will be us some day. Just keep going!!!!
Excellent interview!!! Omari Hardwick is wise beyond his years, and he has a gift to tell a story!
This is arguably the best interview and that's speaks volumes because there has been huge guests.
If you not impressed with Omari ...something is wrong. Great interview... Fred needs to be in the 2023 HOF !!!
I agree! Beautiful interview
Omari is a hell of a story teller
Never watched him but he talks a lot - trying to be too deep.
@@blessedormessy6336 Right. Something must be wrong with me because I didnt understand any of that bullshyt!
@Rome You don’t understand so it’s bullshit lol you need less CZcams and more books
It was refreshing to hear Omari answer the questions with honesty and comparison to day-to-day life. People are blinded by results and glamour. He related how you carry yourself affects you daily regardless of stature in society.
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.
Omari dropped gems the whole show. Glad he took the marathon route.
Omari is so deep and profound and kool and inspiring. Thank you for having him on.
Omari Answered Every Question Precisely! Much Respect!!!!
The way y’all continue to surprise me with these interviews is amazing. This is up there with one of my favorites!
Such a beautiful brother. It sounds like he didn’t want to be stuck as the Ghost character. He didn’t pulled out. He wants to be a legend. Not just the dude who played Ghost
Omg he’s a poet. A lover of men. A guy’s guy. Such powerful words.
Mr. Hardwick can't fail on a podcast - dude BODIES every time
My first exposure to Omari Hardwick was an independent film titled LINEWATCH. I saw him a second time in a movie titled Next Day Air. I liked him because there was an intelligence and physicality that he brought to the characters. I was pleased when he got a starring role in the series POWER. I have not seen POWER.
I'm just happy for his success. He seems, grateful, thoughtful and kind. Just a good human. 👍
Amazing convo. Omari is amazing. One of the reasons I love this pod is because you have a group of true Alphas able to have real convos. This is what the “20 something’s” and younger are lacking.
More now than ever the media and powers that be are raising the voices of lesser men to make that be the example of a “man” and especially black men. The young men today need to watch this as an example of who to become.
There is a difference between being sensitive and soft, between having difficult experiences and being a victim, etc.
Omari’s clearly on the same level/vibe. Perfect example that inner reflection brings great wisdom.
THAT WAS THE BEST INTERVIEW I'VE EVER SEEN,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY BROTHERS!!!!!!!!
im just speechless and amazed about this interview the way Omari is just deliverin these answers i literally pulled over on the side of the road to watch this while i was headin home to my wife and kid it’s so crazy
Awesome insight, awesome interview, good energy flowing between the brothas (King Shit!) on another great episode of The Pivot. Glad to have witnessed this one. 💪🏾
Best episode of the Pivot, hands down!! Omari touched on every level from Ghost to Pac to God to interracial relationship to the culture!! Everyone needs to see and watch this episode no matter the race or sex! I’m so thankful i got witness this!!
Man, dude just drew me in like no other dude has. Other than Martin, Malcolm, and Farrakhan! S/O to Omari for dropping hella jewels throughout the whole podcast
Great interview. Glad I got to understand this brother better. I respect him even more than I did previously. Very intelligent and conscious man. All these brothers are so very special. Love, love, love this show.
This is my favorite Podcast!!! RC, Channing and Fred Taylor have perfected the art of listening & conversation. They keep it real by asking the burning questions. I learned so much about Omari. Now, I’m even a bigger fan !! Kudos to everyone!!
