When Starz unleashed its newest series Power, many quickly became enamored with the show’s star Omari Hardwick. Hardwick has flexed his acting muscles as New York’s biggest drug lord and is now equipped financially thanks to the success of Power. Before he was a primetime wonder, Hardwick was struggling to simply find a place to sleep. He was once a substitute teacher and football coach, all while mentoring Denzel’s son, John David.
